Okay, thanks.

Okay, so it sounds like we effectively have four 4G address spaces and
we can assign the master devices to them. I guess each of these
address spaces makes for an IOMMU group.

It's fine to pre-assign the devices to those groups for now, but it
definitely shouldn't be hardcoded in DT, because it depends on the use
case of the device. I'll take a look at v6, but it sounds like it
should be fine if it doesn't take the address space assignment from DT
anymore.

>From the practical point of view, it doesn't look like setting this on
a per-larb basis would make much sense. The reason to switch the
bank_sel would be to decide which MM devices can share the same
address space. This is a security aspect, because it effectively
determines which devices are isolated from each other.

That said, I agree that for now we can just start with a fixed
assignment. We can think of the API if there is a need to adjust the
assignment.

Actually, is the current assignment correct?

domain-id  module     iova-range                  larbs
   0       disp        0 ~ 4G                      larb0/1
   1       vcodec      4G ~ 8G                     larb4/5/7
   2       cam/mdp     8G ~ 12G             larb2/9/11/13/14/16/17/18/19/20
   3       CCU0    0x4000_0000 ~ 0x43ff_ffff     larb13: port 9/10
   4       CCU1    0x4400_0000 ~ 0x47ff_ffff     larb14: port 4/5

Wouldn't CCU0 and CCU1 conflict with disp? Should perhaps disp be
assigned 12G ~ 16G instead?
