That would require an early_initcall, so hopefully that is fine.
I wonder why the generic arm v7 cache operations don't do the same thing and store the dcache line size somewhere. Every dma operation is essentially calling dcache_line_size(). Perhaps some generic arm code should be determining the dcache line size really early on and storing it in the proc_info_list? Then both the dma code and scm code could query the processor for the dcache line size with something like cpu_dcache_line_size?
