Hi Will,
   Here is about flush-tlb after map iova, I have deleted it in v4
following this suggestion. But We meet a problem about it.

Take a example with JPEG. the test steps is:
a).JPEG HW decode a picture with the source iova,like 0xfd780000.
b).JPEG HW decode done, It will unmap the iova(write 0 in pagetable and
flush tlb).
c).JPEG HW decode the second picture, whose source iova is also
0xfd780000.
   Then our HW maybe fail due to it will auto prefetch, It may prefecth
between the step b) and c). then the HW may fetch the pagetable content
which has been unmapped in step b). then the HW will get the iova's
physical address is 0, It will translation fault!

    So I think our HW need flush-tlb after map iova. Could we add a
QUIRK like "IO_PGTABLE_QUIRK_AUTO_PREFETCH_ENABLE" for it?
If it's not allowed, we will have to add this in our internal function
mtk_iommu_map of mtk_iommu.c.
Thanks.
