[RFC v2 PATCH 0/6] MT8173 IOMMU SUPPORT

[Matthias Brugger]

Hi Yong,

2015-05-15 11:43 GMT+02:00 Yong Wu <yong.wu at mediatek.com>:
>   This patch adds support for m4u(Multimedia Memory Management Unit),
> Currently it only support the m4u with 2 levels of page table on mt8173.
>
>   It is based on Robin Murphy's arm64: IOMMU-backed DMA mapping[1].
>
>   Please check the hardware block diagram of Mediatek IOMMU.

Some general comments.
It seems that your patches are not based on v4.1.-rc1, can you please
fix this in the next version, they don't apply cleanly.
Please use the checkpatch script before sending the next version, I
had some whitespace errors reported when applying the series.

Thanks,
Matthias
