[PATCH v2 1/6] dt-bindings: iommu: Add Apple SART DMA address filter

Apple SoCs such as the M1 come with a simple DMA address filter called
SART. Unlike a real IOMMU no pagetables can be configured but instead
DMA transactions can be allowed for up to 16 paddr regions. The consumer
also needs special support since not all DMA allocations have to be
added to this filter.

v1 -> v2:
  - Moved to bindings/iommu since it is "Close enough to an IOMMU in
    terms of its purpose" (Rob Herring)

+description:
+  Apple SART is a simple address filter for DMA transactions. Regions of
+  physical memory must be added to the SART's allow list before any
+  DMA can target these. Unlike a proper IOMMU no remapping can be done and
+  special support in the consumer driver is required since not all DMA
+  transactions of a single device are subject to SART filtering.
+
+  SART1 has first been used since at least the A11 (iPhone 8 and iPhone X)
+  and allows 36 bit of physical address space and filter entries with sizes
+  up to 24 bit.
+
+  SART2, first seen in A14 and M1, allows 36 bit of physical address space
+  and filter entry size up to 36 bit.
+
+  SART3, first seen in M1 Pro/Max, extends both the address space and filter
+  entry size to 42 bit.
