We must not unconditionally set the DMA snoop bit; if the DMA API is
assuming that the device is not DMA coherent, and the device snoops the
CPU caches, the device can see stale cache lines brought in by
speculative prefetch.
This leads to the device seeing stale data, potentially resulting in
corrupted data transfers. Commonly, this results in a descriptor fetch
error such as:

mmc0: sdhci: ============================================
mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card
but can lead to other errors, and potentially direct the SDHCI
controller to read/write data to other memory locations (e.g. if a valid
descriptor is visible to the device in a stale cache line.)
Fix this by ensuring that the DMA snoop bit corresponds with the
behaviour of the DMA API. Since the driver currently only supports DT,
use of_dma_is_coherent(). Note that device_get_dma_attr() can not be
used as that risks re-introducing this bug if/when the driver is
converted to ACPI.
