Not without a bigger rework. There's still quite a bit of midlayer
issues in DRM, where dma-buf imports are dma-mapped and cached via the
virtual DRM device instead of the real GPU device. Also etnaviv is able
to coalesce multiple Vivante GPUs in a single system under one virtual
DRM device, which is used on i.MX6 where the 2D and 3D GPUs are
separate peripherals, but have the same DMA constraints.
Effectively we would need to handle N devices for the dma-mapping in a
lot of places instead of only dealing with the one virtual DRM device.
It would probably be the right thing to anyways, but it's not something
that can be changed short-term. I'm also not yet sure about the
performance implications, as we might run into some cache maintenance
bottlenecks if we dma synchronize buffers to multiple real device
instead of doing it a single time with the virtual DRM device. I know,
I know, this has a lot of assumptions baked in that could fall apart if
someone builds a SoC with multiple Vivante GPUs that have differing DMA
constraints, but up until now hardware designers have not been *that*
crazy, fortunately.
