You are probably right.  The provider dma driver only maps the MMIO register while the consumer i2c driver maps the data buffer in memory which needs correct coherency setting.

I have asked around but no one seems to know why LS1046a is different.  So from your experiment, changing the reserved bit does make a impact on the final result?  And setting it together with i2c nodes having dma-coherent enabled make it work.  Right?  If that's the case, probably it is just a documentation issue that we should fix.
