The next IOMMU driver defines just one platform device for a H/W device. Thus, it defines just one SYSMMU_MFC platform device, for example. (the previous one defines 2 platform devices for SYSMMU_MFC)Exynos4210 has 2 iommu controllers for MFC device - one for each memory bus. Each MFC bus can address 128MiB of IO address space. Do you mean that the new driver will merge these 2 controllers into one? This way we will lose half of address space for MFC device.
The situation seems somewhat different from our use of MFC. I also heard from Jungtae Park that it is better to define separate platform devices for the system MMUs of MFC. Regards, Cho KyongHo.
