Will, Robin,

do you have any more comments on the ARM SMMU bits of this series? If
not, can you guys provide an Acked-by so that Krzysztof can pick this
(modulo the DT patches) up into the memory-controller tree for v5.14?

I'll send out a v3 with the bisectibilitiy fix that Krishna pointed
out.

Thanks,
Thierry
