Currently, device drivers, which support both OF and ACPI,
need to call two separate APIs, of_dma_is_coherent() and
acpi_dma_is_coherent()) to determine device coherency attribute.

This patch simplifies this process by introducing a new device
property API, device_dma_is_coherent(), which calls the appropriate
interface based on the booting architecture.

Do you really need that IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) ?
In other words, dev->of_node should be null for !CONFIG_OF

Yes, but IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) causes the check to be optimized away by the
compiler if CONFIG_OF is not enabled.

Sure but my point was why you need it when just 'dev->of_node' check
is enough. May be I missed something.

dev->of_node is present when CONFIG_OF is not enabled too.  Without the
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) this becomes a pointless pointer check that will
always evaluate to 'false' on systems without CONFIG_OF, AFAICS.

Got it now. Thanks for expanding it.
