For background, I was initially using something that looked a bit more like the current arm-smmu bindings: gpu { #stream-id-cells = <16>; ... }; gfx3d: qcom,iommu@7c00000 { compatible = "qcom,iommu-v0"; ... mmu-masters = /* gfx3d_user: */ <&gpu 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15>, /* gfx3d_priv: */ <&gpu 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31>; }; gfx3d1: qcom,iommu@7d00000 { compatible = "qcom,iommu-v0"; ... mmu-masters = /* gfx3d_user: */ <&gpu 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15>, /* gfx3d_priv: */ <&gpu 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31>; }; With my current arrangement, I have everything I need when the iommu device is probed to set up each of the context banks This proposal inverts that relationship. Which forces me to do a lot more (including DT parsing) on device attach. Which I'm not a huge fan of. Ie. if I even wanted to try to implement per-process pagetables for gpu without completely going behind the IOMMU API's back, I would want attach/detach to be as lightweight as possible. Was there actually a good reason for having the device link to the iommu rather than the other way around? How much would people hate it if I just ignore the generic bindings and use something that works for me instead. I mean, it isn't exactly like there is going to be .dts re-use across different SoC's.. and at least with current IOMMU API some sort of of_get_named_iommu() API doesn't really make sense. Maybe I'm missing something, I kinda jumped into the discussion late.
