Hi,

Oh, a few more comments:

You'll need a Kconfig and not just a makefile -- there are definitely
dependencies on this driver (IOMMU in particular).


Also, the problem of having a global enable bit that is only under
control of TrustZone FW is a big problem -- if the bit is not set, the
driver will not work (and the machine will crash).

I think you'll need to come up with a way to detect that in the
driver. I don't have a good idea of how it can be done though.
