The same comment as for "iommus" applies to some degree here too.
There's a bit more likelihood that the device itself does want to know
whether it's integrated coherently, so that it can choose what memory
attributes to use (as is the case here), but with protocols like
ACE-lite it's possible to hard-wire any old dumb device to behave
coherently without even realising. Thus this is another property that
could legitimately turn up more or less anywhere.
