[PATCH v2 0/7] iommu/exynos: Add basic support for SysMMU v7

Add minimal viable support for SysMMU v7.x, which can be found in modern
Exynos chips (like Exynos850 or Google's GS101). SysMMU v7.x may
implement VM register set, and those registers should be initialized
properly if present. Usually 8 translation domains are supported via VM
registers (0..7), but only n=0 (default) is used for now.

Existing exynos-iommu driver only supports SysMMU versions up to v5. But
it's pretty much ready for basic usage with SysMMU v7, only small
changes have to be done. As SysMMU version is tested dynamically (by
reading the corresponding register), there is no need to introduce new
compatible string.

The only major change is that SysMMU v7 can have different register
layouts:
  - with Virtual Machine support
  - without Virtual Machine support

That can be checked by reading the capability registers. In the case if
SysMMU IP-core is VM-capable, the VM registers have to be used, and some
additional initialization is needed. That is the case on E850-96 board,
which non-secure SysMMU (v7.4) implements VM-capable register set.

Another required change to make SysMMU v7 functional (at least the one
that have VM registers), is to enable default VM instance. That should
be added to the code enabling MMU itself. Insights for that change were
taken by comparing the I/O dump (writel() / readl() operations) for the
vendor driver and this upstream driver.

The patch series was tested on E850-96 board. Because at the moment
there are no SysMMU users for that board, the testing was done using so
called "Emulated Translation" registers available on SysMMU v7. That
allows one to initiate the translation from CPU, by writing to those
registers, and then reading the corresponding TLB registers to find out
the translation result. The testing driver can be found in [1] tree.

Thanks to Marek, who did let me know it only takes a slight change of
registers to make this driver work with v7.
