Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] dmaengine: fsl-edma: per-channel IOMMU support via DT child nodes
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:26:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-edma-iommu-v2-0-72a62bf44c74@nxp.com> (raw)
I used iommu-map for eDMA, but iommu experts rejected it:
"Using iommu-map to describe synthetic dma_chan_dev devices that the
kernel creates is the same kind of DT abuse from over here:"
More info: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260917144804.GI3196566@ziepe.ca/
So I followed here [2] as Krzysztof wrote for QCOM VPU:
"Thanks Jason for context and detailed arguments. Robin did not chime in
yet, but from what I understood the DT-child-node approach will be the
way we should go here.
I accept above point of view and I am fine with this, thus Vishnu and
Vikash - please go ahead with DT-child-node solution we had some time ago."

The fsl,edma controller on i.MX95 has per-channel SMMU stream IDs,
where paired TX/RX channels share the same stream ID. The previous
approach used iommu-map at the controller node, but this is
architecturally wrong for platform devices - platform_dma_configure()
passes id=NULL to of_dma_configure_id(), so the iommu-map property is
never consulted by the kernel.
This series adds per-channel child nodes to the eDMA binding and
driver. Each child node (dma-channel@<addr>) describes a real
per-channel MMIO region and can carry its own interrupts, iommus, and
power-domains properties. This approach:
- Uses the standard iommus property for per-channel stream ID
assignment, which works through the existing of_dma_configure() ->
of_iommu_configure() -> iommu_probe_device() path.
- Provides real MMIO addresses in child reg properties, enabling
Xen dom0less device passthrough where the hypervisor needs physical
address information for channel-level granularity.
- Maintains full backward compatibility - existing DTS without child
nodes works unchanged.
The driver configures per-channel IOMMU following the same pattern as
tegra186-gpc-dma: set bus type on the dma_chan_dev, coerce the DMA
mask, call of_dma_configure() with the child node, and set
chan_dma_dev=true so dmaengine_get_dma_device() returns the per-channel
device for DMA API calls.
Tested on i.MX95 EVK with SMMUv3 enabled for edma2 channels 2-19
(stream IDs 0x30-0x38, paired). Channels without iommus (used by SPI,
I2C, etc.) continue to work in bypass mode.
