Yang-Rui Li 2cb7b7c03e arch/arm/stm32h7: invalidate dcache after aligned SDMMC RX DMA
The aligned direct-DMA receive path only invalidated the destination
buffer before the transfer in stm32_dmarecvsetup(). On the Cortex-M7
the cache can speculatively prefetch into that cacheable buffer
between the pre-DMA invalidate and DMA completion, leaving stale
lines that shadow the data just written by the IDMA, so the CPU
reads a previously cached sector instead of the freshly received
data.

Invalidate again in stm32_recvdma() once the aligned transfer
completes, before the buffer is consumed. The buffer and length are
cache-line aligned on this path, so no adjacent memory is affected.

This matches the STM32 AN4839 guidance that a cache invalidate is
required after DMA completion and before the CPU reads the updated
region, not only before the transfer starts. A related instance of
the same "invalidate too early" defect on STM32H7 SPI DMA is tracked
in apache/nuttx#11594.

Root-caused on a PX4 FMUv6C (STM32H743) board where MAVLink ULog
downloads were intermittently corrupted: forensic diffing showed
corrupted windows were exactly 32 bytes (the D-cache line size),
cache-line aligned, and byte-for-byte equal to the previous 512-byte
SD sector cached in the FAT single-sector buffer. Disabling the
D-cache made the corruption disappear, isolating the defect to cache
coherency. After this fix, downloaded files matched the source file
byte-for-byte (sha256 identical) across a 5.8 MB log spanning
thousands of sectors.
