[PATCH] arm-smmu: check for generic bindings first

From: Stefano Stabellini
Date: Wed Aug 28 2019 - 13:38:51 EST


From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>

Today, the arm-smmu driver checks for mmu-masters on device tree, the
legacy property, if it is absent it assumes that we are using the new
bindings. If it is present it assumes that we are using the legacy
bindings. All arm-smmus need to use the same bindings: legacy or new.

There are two issues with this:

- we are not actually checking for the new bindings explicitly
It would be better to have an explicit check for the new bindings rather
than assuming we must be using the new if the old are not there.

- old and new bindings cannot coexist
It would be nice to be able to provide both old and new bindings so
that software that hasn't been updated yet is still able to get IOMMU
information from the legacy bindings while at the same time newer
software can get the latest information via the new bindings. (Xen has
not been updated to use the new binding yet for instance.) The current
code breaks under these circumstances because if the old bindings are
present, the new are not even checked.

This patch changes the scheme by checking for #iommu-cells, which is
only present with the new bindings, before checking for mmu-masters.
The new bindings are always favored when present. All SMMUs still need
to use the same bindings: mix-and-matching new and old bindings between
different SMMUs is not allowed.

Let me know if you'd like me to turn the two using_*_binding variables
into a single one.

Also, please note that this is not meant as an excuse not to get Xen
updated to use the new binding.
