Hi Robin,
Thanks very much for your confirm.
About the v3 of the DMA-mapping, I have some question below.

I have implemented a simple of_xlate, but I can’t get the standard
struct dma_map_ops “iommu_dma_ops” to assigned it to the client device.
So the v3 of dma mapping will improve this issue?

And Is the v3 of the DMA-mapping based on 4.0-rc1? because we
expect it could contain will’s io-pagetable.

And when the v3 will be ready?
