The TCUs (Translation Control Units) and TBUs (Translation Buffer
Units) are key components of the MMU-500. Multiple TBUs are connected
to a single TCU over an interconnect. Each TBU contains a TLB that
caches page tables. The MMU-500 implements a TBU for each connected
master, and the TBU is designed, so that it is local to the master.

The Qualcomm SDM845 platform has an implementation of the SMMU-500,
that has multiple TBUs. A DT schema is added to describe the resources
for each TBU (register space, power-domains, interconnects and clocks).

The TBU driver will manage the resources and allow the system to
operate the TBUs during a context fault to obtain details by doing
s1 inv, software + hardware page table walks etc. This is implemented
with ATOS/eCATs as the ATS feature is not supported. Being able to
query the TBUs is useful for debugging various hardware/software
issues on these platforms.

v2:
- Improve DT binding description, add full example. (Konrad)
- Drop Qcom specific stuff from the generic binding. (Rob)
- Unconditionally try to populate subnodes. (Konrad)
- Improve TBU driver commit text, remove memory barriers. (Bjorn)
- Move TBU stuff into separate file. Make the driver builtin.
- TODO: Evaluate whether to keep TBU support as a separate driver
   or just instantiate things from qcom_smmu_impl_init()

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231019021923.13939-1-quic_c_gdjako@xxxxxxxxxxx

What is your suggested way to test this series ?
