Agreed. I can prototype the ACPI version by using the _DMA object in the
ACPI specs instead of IORT specific bindings (what to do for named
components has to be seen given that _DMA object and IORT bindings can
provide different information - though _DMA object usage at least on x86
seems non-existent, whether we should use it or not on ARM is still a
question mark). Anyway, the IORT parsing code in patch 1 is simple, we
have to decide how to handle the information retrieved. I will have a
look at [1] let me know if you need help prototyping and testing it with
ACPI.
