Just to point out what motivated this patchset, the biggest problem is iommu_unmap() because that can happen when GPU is not powered on (or in the v4l2 case, because some other device dropped it's reference to the dma-buf allowing it to be free'd). Currently we pm get/put the GPU device around unmap, but it is kinda silly to boot up the GPU just to unmap a buffer. (Semi-related, I would also like to batch map/unmap's, I just haven't gotten around to implementing it yet.. but that would be another case where a single get_supplier()/put_supplier() outside of the iommu would make sense instead of pm_get/put() inside the iommu driver's ->unmap().) If you really dislike the get/put_supplier() approach, then perhaps we need iommu_pm_get()/iommu_pm_put() operations that the iommu user could use to accomplish the same thing?
