Now that we can express our DMA topology, rely on those property instead of
hardcoding an offset from the dma_addr_t which wasn't really great.

We still need to add some code to deal with the old DT that would lack that
property, but we move the offset to the DRM device dma_pfn_offset to be
able to rely on just the dma_addr_t associated to the GEM object.

It would be even nicer if we could ensure that drm->dev originates from a DT
node which has the appropriate interconnects property itself, such that we
can assume it's already configured correctly.

The thing is drm->dev comes from a node in the DT that is a virtual
node, and therefore doesn't have any resources attached, so I'm not
sure we have any other way, unfortunately.

Right, I appreciate that it may not be feasible to swizzle drm->dev for one
of the 'real' component devices, but what I was also thinking was that since
the virtual device node effectively represents the aggregation of the other
component devices, we could just say that it also has to have its own link
to the MBUS interconnect (with the ID of the pipeline entrypoint it's
associated with, I guess). That ought to be enough to get dma_configure() to
do the job, and in fairness is no *less* accurate a description of the
hardware, even if might look a little funky to some.

That virtual device however can work with up to 4 devices that can
perform DMA operations, all of them going through a different port of
the MBUS controller that can account for DMA usage on a per-master
basis.

Eventually, we should support that feature as well, but the point is
that from a DT point of view, there's not a single point of DMA access
for that particular device but more likely 2-4 points, each with a
different argument to the phandle.

We could of course have a hack and use only one of them, but that
would be less accurate than what we currently have. Plus, this is
really due to a restriction on the DRM side, that could change in the
future (even though it's unlikely). Fixing that restriction would make
that property completely useless, confusing and wrong from an hardware
PoV.

Thanks for the clarification. Much as I'd like to keep of_dma_configure() out of drivers as much as possible, I agree that it's not sufficient justification for (ab)using DT to sidestep a Linux-specific issue which might eventually get properly fixed anyway. I'm sure the last thing sunxi needs is any more awkward DT ABI concerns :)

Robin.
