Bin,
Our internal team agrees with the removing flushing for MMC.
Give me some time to test NAND.

What you mentioned if snoop is not supported, flush_cache() is required, is true, however that's not the issue I am trying to fix here. The flush_cache() here after a DMA read will cause issues because stale data in the cache will overwrite the correct data in the RAM that is DMAed by hardware (in this case, MMC controller).

Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] blk: Remove various places that do flush cache after read
cmd/mmc.c
Maybe SD controller on some vendor platforms doesn't support SNOOP.
flush_cache() is required to sync between DDR and cache.
Should be careful to remove this.

For the first 3 parts in this ppa.c file, I see they are all reading
PPA image from MMC while MMC driver is using DMA so this is wrong (as
I mentioned in the commit message I suspect they are all copy/paste
from the MMC driver).
The only questionable change is the last one which is reading
something from NAND and if NAND driver is not using DMA, that cache
flush is needed as you pointed out.

Hold on for ppa.c. We need to flush the cache after reading PPA image
and it header after loading. These images need to be flushed into main
memory. I will need to confirm with our team if we can remove flushing here.

[U-Boot] [PATCH] blk: Remove various places that do flush cache after read
All these places seem to inherit the codes from the MMC driver where
a FIXME was put in the comment. However the correct operation after
read should be cache invalidate, not flush.
The underlying drivers should be responsible for the cache operation.
Remove these codes completely.
