[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: iommu: arm,smmu-v3: Add arm,instdata-override property

From: Peter Griffin

Date: Fri Sep 11 2026 - 17:25:01 EST


arm,instdata-override DT property is intended to be used for SMMUs that
have a silicon integration issue with the AxPROT[2] signal always being 1
making all transactions appear as instructions.

Google Tensor G5 (Laguna) is an example of an SoC with this silicon
erratum. The DT property can be specified to enable a software
workaround which overrides the incoming attribute to data.
