To allow use of large memory (> 4Gb) with 32bit devices we need to use
IOMMU based DMA mappings for such 32bit devices. The IOMMU dt-bindings
allows us do this by specifying 'iommus' attribute in 32bit device DT
node. Unfortunately, specifying 'iommus' attribute does not work with
current SMMUv1/SMMUv2 driver because it requires of_xlate() operation
to be implemented by the driver.

This patch adds a stub implementation of of_xlate() in SMMUv1/SMMUv2
driver to allow usage of 'iommus' attribute in DT for 32bit devices.

NAK to this.

As previously mentioned by others [1], this is an abuse of the generic
iommu binding support code.

The SMMU binding currently does not define its implementation of the
generic IOMMU binding. This series did not define what an SMMU's
#iommu-cells would be nor what the contained values would represent.
Therefore it is not valid to use an SMMU node with an iommus property as
the SMMu doesn't follwo the generic IOMMU binding.

There is ongoing work to have generic iommu binding support for the
SMMU. In the absence of documentation for what this means for the
binding, I am worried that this hack harms that effort.

To use features of the generic IOMMU binding, we must properly implement
the generic IOMMU binding for the SMMU rather than bodging it onto the
side of the existing binding.

Thanks,
Mark.
