What guarantee do we have that the IOMMU will actually service that
interrupt? Can't we get into a situation where the interrupt gets
ignored by both drivers and subsequently disabled by the core irq code
as being spurious?

>From what I understood of the way things are plugged together on the
rockchip platforms, each individual VOP is behind a single IOMMU, hence
there there is hardly any point in handling IOMMU interrupts if the VOP
is off.

But I'm missing the actual reason behind this patch. Could you enlighten me?

Thanks,
