I am not sure I understand the use of mmu-masters. I would imagine that
the bus masters themselves would have phandles to their respective SMMUs
that provides the translation.

Why are the stream IDs (SIDs) coupled with the bus masters in this way?
You are probably following a different pattern than we do. Our SMMU
driver programs the SMMU SIDs and does not really know or care which
mmu-master it belongs to.

Hi Will,
Please see my comments above. I would like to work with you on defining
the bindings for System MMU. We have had System MMU DT bindings for some
time and I'd like to share what we are doing in hope that we can merge
something that works for all of us.
We use some of the same properties but we have a lot more. We also model
the context banks as children of each SMMU in an object-oriented way.
Here is our current binding for SMMUv1:
* Qualcomm MSM IOMMU v1
Required properties:
- compatible : one of:
- "qcom,msm-smmu-v1"
- reg : offset and length of the register set for the device. Optional
offset and length for clock register for additional clock that
needs to be turned on for access to this IOMMU.
- reg-names: "iommu_base", "clk_base" (optional)
- label: name of this IOMMU instance.
Optional properties:
- qcom,iommu-secure-id : Secure identifier for the IOMMU block
- vdd-supply : vdd-supply: phandle to GDSC regulator controlling this IOMMU.
- qcom,alt-vdd-supply : Alternative regulator needed to access IOMMU
configuration registers.
- interrupts : should contain the performance monitor overflow interrupt
number.
- qcom,iommu-enable-halt : Enable halt of the IOMMU before programming
certain registers
- qcom,iommu-pmu-ngroups: Number of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) groups.
- qcom,iommu-pmu-ncounters: Number of PMU counters per group.
- qcom,iommu-pmu-event-classes: List of event classes supported.
- qcom,needs-alt-core-clk : boolean to enable the secondary core clock
for access to the IOMMU configuration registers
- qcom,iommu-bfb-regs : An array of unsigned 32-bit integers
corresponding to BFB register addresses that need to be configured for
performance tuning purposes. If this property is present, the
qcom,iommu-bfb-data must also be present. Register addresses are
specified as an offset from the base of the IOMMU hardware block. This
property may be omitted if no BFB register configuration needs to be
done for a particular IOMMU hardware instance. The registers specified
by this property shall fall within the IOMMU implementation-defined
register region.
- qcom,iommu-bfb-data : An array of unsigned 32-bit integers
representing the values to be programmed into the corresponding
registers given by the qcom,iommu-bfb-regs property. If this property is
present, the qcom,iommu-bfb-regs property shall also be present, and the
lengths of both properties shall be the same.
- List of sub nodes, one for each of the translation context banks
supported.
Each sub node has the following required properties:
- reg : offset and length of the register set for the context bank.
- interrupts : should contain the context bank interrupt.
- qcom,iommu-ctx-sids : List of stream identifiers associated with
this translation context.
- label : Name of the context bank
Optional sub-node properties:
- qcom,secure-context : boolean indicating that a context is secure
and programmed by the secure environment.
Example:
qcom,iommu at fda64000 {
compatible = "qcom,msm-smmu-v1";
reg = <0xfda64000 0x10000>;
reg-names = "iommu_base";
vdd-supply = <&gdsc_iommu>;
qcom,iommu-bfb-regs = <0x204c 0x2050>;
qcom,iommu-bfb-data = <0xffff 0xffce>;
label = "iommu_0";
qcom,iommu-pmu-ngroups = <1>;
qcom,iommu-pmu-ncounters = <8>;
qcom,iommu-pmu-event-classes = <0x00,
0x01>;
qcom,iommu-ctx at fda6c000 {
reg = <0xfda6c000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 70 0>;
qcom,iommu-ctx-sids = <0 2>;
label = "ctx_0";
};
qcom,iommu-ctx at fda6d000 {
reg = <0xfda6d000 0x1000>;
interrupts = <0 70 0>;
qcom,iommu-ctx-sids = <1>;
label = "ctx_1";
};
};
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Olav Haugan
