I would also like to move the tidspbridge to the DMA API, but I think we'll need to move step by step there, and using the OMAP IOMMU and IOVMM APIs as an intermediate step would allow splitting patches in reviewable chunks. I know it's a step backwards in term of OMAP IOMMU usage, but that's in my opinion a temporary nuisance to make the leap easier.Since tidspbridge is in staging I guess it's not a problem, though it sounds to me like using the correct API in the first place is going to make less churn.Not related to these patches, but also sounds like we may need to drop some staging/tidspbridge code to be able to move forward with the ARM common zImage plans. See the "[GIT PULL] omap plat header removal for v3.8 merge window, part1" thread for more info.
I was trying to find some more info on this, but only found one patch for tidspbridge to delete an include... it seems that I must try with these patches and see what explodes since we heavily abuse prcm code too. Thanks, Omar
