I have the iommu driver enabled and it works for me. I get this during
boot:

[0.263287] rockchip-vop2 fe040000.vop: Adding to iommu group 0

So I expect it is indeed used.

Probably the power domain gets enabled anyway when the VOP is activated,
so adding it to the iommu won't help anything. Nevertheless it seems
correct to add the property, I'll do so in the next round.

I don't think so. I started from defconfig and disabled other
architectures and unneeded drivers, but I did not enable anything
specific to iommu.

Yeah, a consumer clock should be named after the usage in the consumer,
not after the provider name. I also stumbled over this and naming it
"ref" makes much more sense. We'll likely have to keep supporting "vpll"
as well for compatibility to old device trees.

Looks like we have to try harder to get it upstream. Do you have a
pointer to this patch?

Thanks for noting. This could also explain why currently only 1080p is
working.
