On modem-DSP (mDSP) platforms the DSP runs in a stage-2 protected
context and cannot use the SMMU. PCM buffers must live in reserved-memory
carveouts that are SCM-assigned to the appropriate VMIDs.

Add an optional memory-region property (1-2 entries) for the
control-path and data-path carveouts, and remove iommus from the
required list since mDSP platforms have neither IOMMU nor VMID DT
properties.

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
/builds/robherring/linux-dt-review/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/qcom,q6apm-dai.yaml: properties:memory-region: {'minItems': 1, 'maxItems': 2, 'items': [{'description': 'Control-path buffer (audio_heap_mem) for platforms where the DSP runs in a stage-2 protected context (e.g. modem-DSP).'}, {'description': 'Data-path buffer pool from which per-stream DMA buffers are allocated.'}]} should not be valid under {'required': ['maxItems']}
hint: "maxItems" is not needed with an "items" list
from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/items.yaml

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/devicetree/patch/20260922-vmid-v4-v5-3-e79cfd7af5b3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.


Thanks Rob, fixed in v6 by dropping the redundant maxItems from memory-region. The focused binding validation passes locally, and I will include the base-commit trailer in v6.

Thanks
