 From my understanding - yes.

As, I think, any device node describing virtulized device in the guest 
device tree can have this property.  Initially (in the RFC series) the 
"solution to restrict memory access using Xen grant mappings" was 
virtio-specific.

Although the support of virtio is a primary target of this series, we 
decided to generalize this work and expand it to any device [1]. So the 
Xen grant mappings scheme (this property to be used for) can be 
theoretically used for any device emulated by the Xen backend.

ok, will change

Thank you for pointing this out, my fault, I haven't "properly" checked 
this before. I think, we need to remove "compatible = "virtio,mmio"; here

As I described above, the property is not virtio specific and can be 
used for any virtualized device for which Xen grant mappings scheme 
needs to be enabled (xen-grant DMA-mapping layer).
