The ipmmu-vmsa driver in v4.12-rc1 doesn't call iommu_device_register() and thus won't be found by iommu_ops_from_fwnode(). Furthermore, it doesn't IOMMU_OF_DECLARE(), and thus will always be considered as absent. I agree that the ipmmu-vmsa driver needs to be fixed, but it would have been nice to check existing IOMMU drivers before merging this patch series... > >> This can be fixed by either: > >> - Disabling CONFIG_IPMMU_VMSA, or > >> - Reverting commit 7b07cbefb68d486f (but keeping "int ret = 0;"). > >> > >> Note that this was a bit hard to investigate, as R-Car Gen3 support > >> wasn't upstreamed yet, so bisection pointed to a merge commit. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
