There is no hi1630 userspace support yet.

So what I can do is post updated userspace support (including hi1630), 
and then post kernel parts together for all drivers we could initially 
support.

@Joakim, I'll pick your imx driver changes here, if you don't mind.

There was an RFC from you for the SMMUv3 PMU as

I hope to drop that RFC if an updated SMMUv3 spec helps us out.
