[PATCH 0/6] Add support for Broadcom BCM2712 IOMMU driver (Raspberry Pi 5)

From: Daniel Drake

Date: Sun Jul 12 2026 - 18:33:14 EST


Hi,

This series adds a driver for the Broadcom BCM2712 IOMMU found on
Raspberry Pi 5, and hooks up the display controller IOMMU for efficient
management of graphics memory. This is adapted from the downstream driver
from Raspberry Pi (original author Nick Hollinghurst), with main changes:
- Implement the page table management using generic_pt
- Implement brcm,iova-window and brcm,iommu-cache as standards-compliant
DT property names, while maintaining compatibility with existing
shipped RPi firmware
- Drop the dma-iova-offset hack, used to work around some issue seen with
dma-ranges. This will need to be investigated separately and solved
properly. (It's not needed for display controller iommu support included
here.)
- Misc simplifications/standardisations/cleanups

The IOMMU works strictly with 4KB pages. This means that unfortunately
when the kernel is compiled with PAGE_SIZE=16KB (the Raspberry Pi 5
kernel default), 12KB is wasted in each page that is allocated for page
tables. I plan to address this in followup work.

It has been tested on Raspberry Pi 5 using a 3D-accelerated graphical
environment which causes plenty of IOMMU maps & unmaps.

Feedback and testing welcome!
