Use DMA API instead of architecture internal functions like

To support the virtual device like DRM the virtual slave iommu
added in the previous patch, attaching to which the DRM can use
it own domain->dev for dma_map_*(), dma_sync_*() even VOP is disabled.

With this patch, this driver is available for ARM64 like RK3399.

Could we instead simply allocate coherent memory for page tables using
dma_alloc_coherent() and skip any flushing on CPU side completely? If
I'm looking correctly, the driver only reads back the page directory
when checking if there is a need to allocate new page table, so there
shouldn't be any significant penalty for disabling the cache.
I try to use dma_alloc_coherent() to replace the dma_map_single(),
but it doesn't work for me properly.
Because the DRM uses the iommu_dma_ops instead the swiotlb_dma_ops after
attaching
to iommu, so when the iommu domain need to alloc a new page in
rk_iommu_map(),
it would call:
rk_iommu_map()  --> dma_alloc_coherent()  --> ops->alloc()  --> iommu_map()
--> rk_iommu_map()
It shouldn't call iommu_map(), because the IOMMU is not behind another
IOMMU. Are you sure you called dma_alloc_coherent() on behalf of the
IOMMU struct device and not the DRM device?
I called dma_alloc_coherent() with DRM device but not the IOMMU device,
because DRM didn't attach to any iommu. Even allocating an virtual one when attaching, the iommu->dev
is DRM device though.
Am I right here?

Thank you very much,
Shunqian

Best regards,
Tomasz
