[ Upstream commit 5e65c52ec716af6e8f51dacdaeb4a4d872249af1 ]
Loongson64 processors have a writecombine issue that maybe failed to
write back framebuffer used with ATI Radeon or AMD GPU at times, after
commit 8a08e50cee66 ("drm: Permit video-buffers writecombine mapping
for MIPS"), there exists some errors such as blurred screen and lockup,
and so on.
[ 60.958721] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 0 stalled for more than 10079msec
[ 60.965315] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000112 last fence id 0x000000000000011d on ring 0)
[ 60.976525] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 3 stalled for more than 10086msec
[ 60.983156] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000374 last fence id 0x00000000000003a8 on ring 3)
As discussed earlier [1], it might be better to disable writecombine
on the CPU detection side because the root cause is unknown now.
Actually, this patch is a temporary solution to just make it work well,
it is not a proper and final solution, I hope someone will have a better
solution to fix this issue in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
