I'm not an expert on IOMMUs, so apologies if the question is stupid.

Why does the CDX bus need special treatment here (like PCI) when there
are so many other busses (eg: I2C, SPI, etc) that don't need any
changes here?

AFAIU, the devices on I2C/SPI does not use SMMU. Apart from PCI/AMBA,
FSL-MC is another similar bus (on SMMUv2) which uses SMMU ops.

The devices here are behind SMMU. Robin can kindly correct or add
more here from SMMU perspective.

Indeed, there is no need to describe and handle how DMA may or may not
be translated for I2C/SPI/USB/etc. because they are not DMA-capable
buses (in those cases the relevant bus *controller* often does DMA, but
it does that for itself as the platform/PCI/etc. device it is).

Ok this is what I was guessing was the reason, but didn't want to make
that assumption.

So if there are other cases like AMBA, FSL-MC where the devices can do
direct DMA, why do those buses not need a #ifdef section in this
function like CDX? Or put another way, why does CDX need special treatment?

Er, it doesn't? The only non-optional bus here is platform, since the others *can* be configured out and *are* #ifdefed accordingly. This patch is fine for the kernel it was based on, it'll just want rewriting now that I've cleaned all this horrible driver boilerplate up. And according to the thread on patch #4 there might need to be additional changes for CDX to express a reserved MSI region for SMMU support to actually work properly.

Robin.
