mvneta driver can run on not cache coherent devices so it is necessary to sync DMA buffers before sending them to the device in order to avoid memory corruptions. Running perf analysis we can see a performance cost associated with this DMA-sync (anyway it is already there in the original driver code). In follow up patches we will add more logic to reduce DMA-sync as much as possible.
