Hi,

Replying again, as there was some issue with mailer last time.

if some master devices want 'IDENTITY_DOMAIN' as default (because
those devices do not want any iommu resources to be used/dma_ops to be
set) and some 'DMA_DOMAIN' as default, then should the default be
'DMA_DOMAIN' and then masters needing IDENTITY_DOMAIN explicitly do an
detach_dev later. This [1] was adding the support for detach_dev
of the default DMA_DOMAINs.
