[PATCH v2 0/3] Apple M1 DART IOMMU driver

Hi,

Here's v2 of my Apple M1 DART IOMMU driver series as a follow up to the original
version [1].

Short summary: this series adds support for the iommu found in Apple's new M1
SoC which is required to use DMA on most peripherals. So far this code has been
tested with dwc3 in host and device mode on a M1 Mac Mini on top of the latest
version of Hector's bringup series [2,3] together with my m1n1 bootloader
branch to bring up USB [4]. It will also apply (but not be very useful) on
top of iommu/next and v5.12-rc3.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and discussions so far. I believe they
have already significantly improved the state of this driver and our
understanding of the DART iommu!

The part I'm most unsure about is the way I keep track of the multiple
iommu nodes attached to a device. I would love to especially get some
feedback there.


Changes for v2:
 - fixed devicetree binding linting issues pointed out by Rob Herring and
   reworked that file.
 - made DART-specific code in io-pgtable.c unconditional and removed flag from
   Kconfig as proposed by Robin Murphy.
 - allowed multiple DART nodes in the "iommus" property as proposed by
   Rob Herring and Robin Murphy. this resulted in significant changes
   to apple-iommu-dart.c.
 - the domain aperture is now forced to 32bit if translation is enabled after
   the original suggestion to limit the aperture by Mark Kettenis and the
   follow-up discussion and investigation with Mark Kettenis, Arnd Bergmann,
   Robin Murphy and Rob Herring. This change also simplified the code
   in io-pgtable.c and made some of the improvements suggested during review
   not apply anymore.
 - added support for bypassed and isolated domain modes.
 - reject IOMMU_MMIO and IOMMU_NOEXEC since it's unknown how to set these up
   for now or if the hardware even supports these flags.
 - renamed some registers to be less confusing (mainly s/DOMAIN/STREAM/ to
   prevent confusion with linux's iommu domain concept).

I have also fixed my email provider so this time the series should actually
be a single thread and not contain any HTML by accident anymore...

Best,


Sven
