PATCH 1/1 wd719x: remove dma_cache_sync call

dma_cache_sync() call breaks build on some architectures and

Quoted 5 lines · Arnd Bergmann

dma_cache_sync only makes sense with buffers allocated through dma_alloc_noncoherent(), which this one is not. I suspect we can just remove the call to dma_cache_sync here, in particular since the buffer is passed to the device next, and dma_map_single has already done all the necessary synchronization.

Remove dma_cache_sync call to fix build on other architectures. Driver still works fine on x86 without that.
