These patches attempt to deal with this in the simplest way possible by
generalising the specific quirk for 32-bit bridges into an arbitrary
mask which can then also be plumbed into the firmware code. In the
interest of being minimally invasive, I've only included a point fix
for the IOMMU issue as seen on arm64 - there may be further tweaks
needed in DMA ops to catch all possible incarnations of this problem,
but this initial RFC is mostly about the impact beyond the dma-mapping
subsystem itself.

Thanks, this looks very nice to me.

In fact it probably solves the RISC-V/Xiling problem as well if we can
just add the dma-ranges property to the device tree for the affected
systems.  Palmer, do you know how easily the DT could be updated for
that case?

Hi Chris,
I have a PR in riscv-pk that can modify the DT in bbl easily. In fact, that's how I added the timer node for the interrupt patch.

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk/pull/112

Obviously, the best approach would be to update the firmware but that may be time consuming sometime.

Atish

Robin.
