MIPS: Fix potencial corruption
Normally r4k_dma_cache_inv should only ever be called with cacheline aligned addresses. If however, it isn't there is the theoretical possibility of data corruption. There is no correct way of handling this and anyway, it should only happen if the DMA API is used incorrectly so drop There is a different corruption scenario with these CACHE instructions removed but again there is no way of handling this correctly and it can be triggered only through incorrect use of the DMA API. So just get rid of the complexity. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Reported-by: James Rodriguez <jamesr@juniper.net>
