For simplicity (we simply copy the coherency_features from the GPU reg
at the moment), I want the HW/uAPI values to match, so I've added
BUILD_BUG_ON()s. And I think I'd prefer to stick to the defs in
panfrost_regs.h, such that if we ever end up writing that back to
COHERENCY_ENABLE on newer HW, it's obvious we based the initialization
on those HW values.

Yep. I didn't dare writing it back, because it's working as-is on all
supported HW, and I don't want to regress things. Not that I've played
with this COHERENCY_ENABLE reg on my amlogic board, which is coherent,
to fake a non-coherent setup, and it works like a charm :-).
