Unfortunately the hypervisor is playing tricks on me when writing to S2CR registers: - TRANS writes lands as requested - BYPASS writes ends up in the register as requested, with type FAULT - FAULT writes are ignored In other words, the Qualcomm firmware prevents us from relying on marking the relevant streams as BYPASS type. Instead Qualcomm seems to implement "bypass" by setting up stream mapping, of TRANS type, pointing to a context bank without ARM_SMMU_SCTLR_M set. Regards, Bjorn
