Subject: [RFC 0/3] Introduce usb_{alloc,free}_noncoherent API
Date:   Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:20:27 -0300

Following the discussion on PWC [1] and UVC [2] drivers, where
use non-consistent mappings for the URB transfer buffers was
shown to improve transfer speed significantly, here's a proposal
for a non-coherent USB helpers.

With this pachset, it's possible to get 360x288 raw analog video
using stk1160 and a AM335x Beaglebone Black board. This isn't
possible in mainline, for the same reasons Matwey has explained [1].

First patch is a hack, obviously incomplete, to add support for
non-consistent mappings on ARM.

The second patch introduces the usb_{alloc,free}_noncoherent API,
while the third patch is an example on stk1160.

I'm sending this patchset as RFC, just to get the ball rolling.

    mappings

  stk1160: Use non-coherent buffers for USB transfers
