If this master can only support this special address, We could handle
it inside this driver.

Could you help try to add these two patches [3/11] and [4/11]?

[3/11] 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20230214031114.926-4-yong.wu@mediatek.com/
[4/11] 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/patch/20230214031114.926-5-yong.wu@mediatek.com/


and, then add the logical for mt8365(I see the APU is larb0 port10/11
in the binding):
--------------------------------

+#define MT8365_REGION_NR		2
+
+static const struct mtk_iommu_iova_region
mt8365_multi_rgn[MT8365_REGION_NR] = {
+	{ .iova_base = 0x0,		.size = SZ_4G},	       /* 0 ~
4G. */
+	{ .iova_base = 0x60000000,	.size = SZ_256M},      /* APU
*/
+};
+

xxxxxxxxxxx

+static const unsigned int
mt8365_larb_region_msk[MT8365_REGION_NR][MTK_LARB_NR_MAX] = {
+	[0] = {~(u32)(BIT(10) | BIT(11)), ~0, ~0, ~0, ~0, ~0},
+	[1] = {[0] = BIT(10) | BIT(11)},
+};
+
 static const struct mtk_iommu_plat_data mt8365_data = {
 	.m4u_plat	= M4U_MT8365,
 	.flags		= RESET_AXI | INT_ID_PORT_WIDTH_6,
 	.inv_sel_reg	= REG_MMU_INV_SEL_GEN1,
 	.banks_num	= 1,
 	.banks_enable	= {true},
-	.iova_region	= single_domain,
-	.iova_region_nr	= ARRAY_SIZE(single_domain),
+	.iova_region	= mt8365_multi_rgn,
+	.iova_region_nr	= ARRAY_SIZE(mt8365_multi_rgn),
+	.iova_region_larb_msk = mt8365_larb_region_msk,
 	.larbid_remap	= {{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}}, /* Linear
mapping. */
 };
--------------------------------

After that, If we call DMA API with the device whose dtsi has
M4U_PORT_APU_READ/M4U_PORT_APU_WRITE. The iova should be located at
that special address. Sorry, I have no board to test.

Thanks.
