A single SMMU is shared with multiple peripheral devices, a single
SMMU has multiple ASIDs. ASID is used per group of peripheral
devices. These peripheral groups can be configured by the above
"hwgrp"/"map" passed via platform_data. The above "struct device"
represents a groupd of peripheral devices, a kind of virtual device.

The above "struct device" ~= a group of peripheral devices.

Yes, where "device" is a gropud of peripheral devices.

Yes.

No, at least, the following code prevents if a peripheral is already
assigned ASID.

smmu_client_enable_hwgrp():
....
+	for_each_set_bit(i, &map, BITS_PER_LONG) {
+		offs = HWGRP_ASID_REG(i);
+		val = smmu_read(smmu, offs);
+		if (on) {
+			if (WARN_ON(val & mask))
+				goto err_hw_busy;

Here, the above "struct device" ~= a group of any peripheral
devices. Those groups are configurable.


In my simple DMA API test(not posted), the above hwgrp/map is configured as below:

   146  static int __init dmaapi_test_init(void)
   147  {
   148          int i;
   149          struct dma_iommu_mapping *map;
   150  
   151          map = arm_iommu_create_mapping(IOVA_START, IOVA_SIZE, 0);
   152          BUG_ON(!map);
   153          pr_debug("Allocate IOVA: %08x-%08x\n", map->base, map->base + IOVA_SIZE);
   154  
   155          for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(dmaapi_dummy_device); i++) {
   156                  int err;
   157                  struct platform_device *pdev = &dmaapi_dummy_device[i];
   158  
   159                  pdev->dev.platform_data = (void *)dummy_hwgrp_map[i];
   160                  err = platform_device_register(pdev);
   161                  BUG_ON(err);
   162  
   163                  err = arm_iommu_attach_device(&pdev->dev, map);
   164                  BUG_ON(err);
   165                  pr_debug("IOMMU API: Attached to %s\n", dev_name(&pdev->dev));
   166          }

So peripheral devices can be divided into multiple groups, and each
each group represents struct device with hwgrp/map info in
platform_data.
