At least there, there is a: #ifdef CONFIG_MMU #define v4l2_get_unmapped_area NULL #else ... #endif block, so, in thesis, a driver can be written to support both cases without inserting #ifdefs inside it. Ideally, I would prefer if all those iommu-specific calls would be inside the core. A driver should not need to do anything special in order to support a different (sub)architecture. > > Best regards
