This patch adds iommu-map property for PCIe, which enables
SMMU for these devices on LS208xA devices.

What does this do when your version of u-boot doesn't fill
this in for
you?

Good question, frankly I have not thought of this case before. 
But if we pass length = 0 in above property then no fixup
happen with happen with older u-boot. In this case
of_iommu_configure() will return NULL iommu-ops and it switch
to swio-tlb. Will that work?
I really don't like this. You rely on having invalid data in the
DT, and that seems just wrong.

Why can't u-boot just generate that property, and we leave the DT
alone?
We do not have smmu phandle allowing uboot to generate this.
quoted
Or even better, you provide the right information for the few
boards that are based on this SoC, not relying on u-boot for
anything that is in the kernel tree?
On our platforms we have a h/w table which converts RID->Device-Id.
I will check what will happen if that table is not initialized, can
RID be equal to device-id is that case. If that will be allowed
than we can give right information that will work with u-boot not
updating this property.
U-boot uses a stream-id allocator and programs the h/w mapping table
(rid to sid mapping table). Also it updates iommu-map property
accordingly. But If u-boot does not update iommu-map than we cannot
have a valid full proof solution as stream-id allocation can change
in u-boot.

So the other option of u-boot generating this entry seems correct
solution. This requires u-boot to know iommu-phandle, something
similar to "msi-parent" used for "msi-map" Device-tree binding need
change to add iommu-phandle/iommu-parent for this.
From what I know of this hardware, it's going to be rather difficult to
concoct a DT which reflects the initial hardware state accurately *and*
works correctly without updating u-boot in lockstep. IIRC, I believe the
accurate description for an unprogrammed LUT would be "everything comes
out on the default ID, which defaults to 0", i.e.:

	iommu-map-mask = <0x0>;
	iommu-map = <0x0 &smmu 0x0 0x1>;

(assuming the SMMU has stream-id-mask set appropriately too)

That's OK except if u-boot updates the map without removing the mask,
whereupon things will go wrong, and I guess that would be the case with
current u-boot :(

However, the existing MSI description is already bogus - if u-boot
didn't program the LUT, the ITS driver would treat the invalid
"msi-parent" property as this:

	msi-map = <0x0 &its 0x0 0xffff>;

which means that nobody other than 0:0.0 has working MSIs anyway.

If you want an obviously-invalid placeholder equivalent to the use of
"msi-parent" then I'd suggest just:

	iommus = <&smmu>;

which would be ignored by Linux for PCI devices, so provided you didn't
disable bypass at the SMMU things might in theory still work in the
"u-boot does nothing" case. Otherwise, the implied identity map is
probably slightly preferable to the unit-length map, i.e.:

	iommu-map = <0x0 &smmu 0x0 0xffff>;

which is at least equally broken as MSIs in the same situation.
