I was mistaken there: all drivers that use dma_alloc_noncoherent either use dma_cache_sync() or they do something that is more broken, but they don't do dma_sync_*.

As the DMA-API.txt says, dma_alloc_noncoherent should be used with dma_cache_sync(). You shouldn't use dma_sync* API with a memory returned by dma_alloc_noncoherent().
