This series adds support for the video protection region (VPR) used on Tegra SoC devices. It's a special region of memory that is protected from accesses by the CPU and used to store DRM protected content (both decrypted stream data as well as decoded video frames). Patches 1 through 3 add DT binding documentation for the VPR and add the VPR to the list of memory-region items for display, host1x and NVDEC. The set_direct_map_*_noflush() functions that will be used later in this series are exported in patch 4 so that the drivers that use them can be built as a module. Patch 5 adds bitmap_allocate(), which is like bitmap_allocate_region() but works on sizes that are not a power of two. The of_node_to_nid() function is exported in patch 6 because it is used in a later patch adding a driver that can be built as a module. Patch 7 introduces new APIs needed by the Tegra VPR implementation that allow memory to be allocated at a fixed offset within a CMA area. Tegra VPR needs this in order to implement its own allocator on top of CMA to meet the strict hardware requirements. This replaces the dynamic CMA area creation patch from earlier versions. Patch 8 adds some infrastructure for DMA heap implementations to provide information through debugfs. The Tegra VPR implementation is added in patch 9. See its commit message for more details about the specifics of this implementation. Finally, patches 10-12 add the VPR placeholder node on Tegra234 and Tegra264 and hook it up to the host1x node so that it can make use of this region.
