I'm not able to find the reasoning you're referring to. We do have cells
of 2 for these nodes on all other platforms.  If there is a specific
problem, that can be documented and you can probably use ranges to
reduce keep the cells of 1 in the geni wrappers.


The reason why we have cells = 2 on most platforms is because the SMMU
reports that it's capable of more address bits than the buses will
handle. So without cells = 2, we can't describe dma-ranges appropriately
and you get page faults due to truncated addresses on the bus when the
iommu iova has been picking addresses for you.
