I'm afraid I don't have an example use case or performance numbers at
the moment...

Ah yes looks like this is an MSM-ism that never made it upstream since
it wouldn't be guaranteed to be atomic. I'll make sure to do arm32
compiles on upstream kernels for future patches, sorry!

I guess we could use <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> but I can
also re-work this to be two separate writel's.

My thought was that if we start polling ATSR_ACTIVE prematurely (before
the write to ATS1PR actually finishes) all heck could break loose? Not
sure if that's a bogus assumption due to device memory being strongly
ordered?

I assume you're talking about this, right?

Yeah looks like he never sent an update since it was part of a series
that wasn't going to make it in (the qsmmu driver). I can always bring
that patch (actually Matt Wagantall's patch) in here and rework this to
use that.

I was looking at Section 4.1.1 of ARM IHI 0062C ID091613 which states:

    In SMMUv2, the address translation registers are OPTIONAL. The
    address translation registers are implemented only when both:

        o The SMMU_IDR0.S1TS bit is set to 1.
        o The SMMU_IDR0.ATOSNS bit is set to 0.

I assume you're referring to section 9.6.1 of the same document:

    ATOSNS, bit[26]
    Address Translation Operations Not Supported. The possible values of
    this bit are:

        0 Address translation operations are supported. Stage 1
          translation is not supported, that is, the S1TS bit is set to 0.

        1 Address translation operations are not supported. Stage 1
          translation is supported, that is, the S1TS bit is set to 1.

If that really means that S1TS and ATOSNS always have the same value
then Section 4.1.1 doesn't make any sense. Or am I missing something?
