Bug description:
  Starting in 3.15, arm64 began defaulting to non-coherent dma_ops:

      arm64: Make default dma_ops to be noncoherent

  Firmware (dtb in the case of the m400) is responsible for telling the
  kernel when a device requires coherent dma_ops. However, as of utopic,
  this property is not being inherited by downstream devices.
  Specifically, the xgene-pcie device is marked as coherent, but the
  devices behind it (mellanox card) still get initialized with non-
  coherent ops.

  This results in the mlx4 driver bailing out with the following messages:
  [   18.703635] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: command 0x23 timed out (go bit not cleared)
  [   18.710911] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: Failed to initialize queue pair table, aborting

  
  There's an upstream discussion on the topic here:
