If it's like on x86, passthrough GPUs may also require firmware. At 
least it looks like the case with some configuration on the Arndale, 
which doesn't have any SMMU.

I'd like to make this series as simple as possible so we can get 
"quickly" a working solution to passthrough device with small amount of 
MMIO region.

So if you don't mind I suggest to bump the amount of MMIO region to 1GB, 
I may need to shrink the first RAM bank, and think about bigger region 
support in a follow-up series.

Regards,
