Need some information about IOMMU support for ARM64 in 4.6

Hi Barghav,

I assume you're talking about the ARM SMMU(v2)?

Yes. The SMMUv2 driver in 4.6 does not call of_iommu_set_ops(). That's
because it doesn't support of_xlate() either, so in general can't be
used for DMA ops. The default domain support which went into 4.6 was
just some early groundwork which, in hindsight, caused more problems
than it solved at that time.

The proper way would be to update to 4.9, where full generic
configuration and DMA ops support finally landed ;)
