Okay, this sounds like a case for arm_smmu_get_resv_region(). It should return an entry for the reserved memory region the firmware needs to access, so that generic iommu can setup this mapping. Note that it should return that entry only for your device, not for all devices. Maybe there is a property in DT or IORT you can set to transport this information into the arm-smmu driver. This is pretty similar to RMRR mapping on the Intel VT-d IOMMU or Unity-mapped ranges in the AMD-Vi IOMMU. Regards, Joerg
