Any IDs specified here would only apply to DMA by the "platform device" 
side of the host controller itself (as would an equivalent "iommus" 
property on pcie0 once I finish the SMMUv2 generic binding support I'm 
working on). In terms of PCI devices, the "mmu-masters" property is 
overloaded such that only its existence matters, to identify that there 
_is_ a relationship between the SMMU and the PCI bus(es) behind that 
host controller.
I wasn't aware that this was actually still specified. I had hoped
we were getting rid of mmu-masters before anyone actually started
using it, but now I see it in ns2.dtsi and fsl-ls2080a.dtsi.

Does anyone know what happened to the plan to use the iommu DT binding
for the ARM SMMU instead? Do we now have to support both ways indefinitely?
We always did -- Seattle used the mmu-masters binding before the generic
binding even existed. Robin has been working on patches to get of_xlate
up and running, but it got held up by Laurent's series which didn't end
up going anywhere.
Up to now I have used the PCI smmu description as described in Suravee's
patch and this does not work anymore with 4.6-rc1 since the default
domain was introduced. So now I see 2 SMRs matching a single streamid
(in my case 256, one steming from the "platform device" side of the host
controller and one steming from the PCI device) and this causes SMCF
(stream match conflict fault). So PCIe PF does not work.
Sorry about that, it wasn't intentional. In fact, I wrote commit
cbf8277ef456 ("iommu/arm-smmu: Treat IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA as bypass for now")
specifically to avoid this breakage, after seeing it myself with VFIO
and an S2CR-based configuration. It looks like the check just needs moving
higher up (i.e. before we initialise the SMRs).

Does that fix it for you?
Yes this fixes the issue for me, thanks! I guess you will send that patch?
I need to check that it doesn't break rebinding to the host after VFIO
has been used for passthrough, first.
OK. I can help testing too since I am currently working on PCIe
passthrough respin.
Does your devicetree explicitly assign a StreamID to the platform device
for the host controller? We should probably be handling this, since it
will crop us as an issue again once we decide to enable the default
domain properly.
Yes it does. My dt description currently matches the one found in this
patch from Suravee (old binding style). Hence my question. Shall I
remove this and let PCIe register their RID=SID automatically?

So eventually what is the right way to describe the smmu-masters (~
future of that patch)?
Using the generic iommu binding
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/iommu.txt), which will be required
for of_xlate-based probing. The old binding should still continue to
function as it always has, though.
OK thanks
