[PATCH v3 0/3] Add iommu supports

[Khairul Anuar Romli]

This patch series adds IOMMU support for the Agilex5 platform by:

- Updating the device tree bindings for:
  - Cadence HP NAND controller (`cdns,hp-nfc`)
  - Synopsys DesignWare AXI DMA controller (`snps,dw-axi-dmac`)
  to accept the `iommus` property.

- Adding the SMMU (System Memory Management Unit) node to the Agilex5
  device tree and wiring up the IOMMU properties to the supported
  peripherals:
  - NAND controller
  - DMA controller
  - SPI controller

The Agilex5 SoC includes an ARM SMMU v3 with dedicated Translation Buffer
Units (TBUs) for peripherals. These allow for hardware-enforced DMA
address translation and memory isolation using the IOMMU framework.

Enabling IOMMU support ensures proper integration of these devices in
virtualized or secure environments, and aligns the platform with ARM’s
architectural requirements.

---
Changes in v3:
	- Refined commit messages with detailed hardware descriptions.
	- Clarified which peripherals are covered in the DT changes.
Changes in v2:
	- Add more description in the commit message body to clarify
	  device required for this changes.

[PATCH v3 1/3] dt-bindings: mtd: cdns,hp-nfc: Add iommu property

[Khairul Anuar Romli]

Agilex5 integrates an ARM SMMU (System Memory Management Unit) with
Translation Buffer Units (TBUs) assigned to various peripherals,
including the NAND controller.

The Cadence HP NAND controller ("cdns,hp-nfc") on Agilex5 is behind a
TBU connected to the system's SMMUv3. To support this, the controller
requires an `iommus` property in the device tree to properly configure
address translation through the IOMMU framework.

Adding the `iommus` property to the binding schema allows the OS
to associate the NAND controller with its corresponding SMMU stream ID.
This enables:
- DMA address translation between the controller and system memory
- Memory protection for NAND operations
- Proper functioning of the IOMMU framework in secure or virtualized
  environments

This change documents the IOMMU integration for the NAND controller
on platforms like Agilex5 where such hardware is present.

[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: dma: snps,dw-axi-dmac: Add iommu property

[Khairul Anuar Romli]

Agilex5 integrates an ARM SMMU v3 (System Memory Management Unit) with
dedicated Translation Buffer Units (TBUs) assigned to various peripherals,
including the Synopsys DesignWare AXI DMA controller.

Each TBU handles address translation for its associated device by mapping
stream IDs to memory access permissions and virtual-to-physical address
mappings via the SMMU core.

The DesignWare AXI DMAC instances on Agilex5 are connected to their
respective TBUs. These TBUs forward DMA transactions from the controller
through the SMMU, enabling IOMMU-based features such as:
- Address translation for DMA operations
- Isolation and protection of memory regions accessed by the DMA controller
- Support for secure and virtualized environments through enforced access
  control

To support this configuration, the `iommus` property must be added to the
binding schema for `snps,dw-axi-dmac`. This allows the device tree to
associate each DMA controller with the correct SMMU stream ID, enabling
the Linux IOMMU framework to configure translation contexts at runtime.

This change documents the IOMMU support for the DMA controller on Agilex5
and allows proper integration with the SMMUv3 hardware.

[PATCH 3/3] arm64: dts: socfpga: agilex5: Add SMMU nodes

[Khairul Anuar Romli]

Agilex5 includes an ARM SMMU v3 (System Memory Management Unit) to provide
address translation and memory protection for DMA-capable devices such as
PCIe, USB, and other peripherals.

This commit adds the SMMU node to the Agilex5 device tree with compatible
string "arm,smmu-v3", along with its register space and interrupts.

The SMMU is required to:
- Enable DMA address translation for devices that cannot directly access
  the full physical memory space.
- Provide isolation and memory protection by restricting device access
  to specific regions of memory, improving system security.
- Support virtualization use cases by enabling safe and isolated device
  passthrough to guest VMs.
- Align with ARM platform architecture requirements for IOMMU support.

By describing the SMMU in the device tree, the Linux IOMMU framework
can probe and initialize it during boot. Devices in the system can then
bind to the SMMU via the `iommus` property, enabling memory translation
and protection features as expected.

The following devices are updated to reference the SMMU:
- NAND controller
- DMA controller
- SPI controller

This change is a necessary step toward full enablement high-speed
peripherals on Agilex5.
