I might need some help to really understand the plumbing here, but this
is what I read from the code and can see in my debugging...


The display device will upon creation be allocated a default_domain, of
type IOMMU_DOMAIN_IDENTITY - per the qcom-impl. Then you then allocate a
new iommu domain on the platform bus in the display driver and attach
this to the device. This will result in the group's domain being of type
IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED.

But when you then invoke dma_map_single() on the display device, the map
operation will acquire the iommu_group's default_domain (not domain) and
as such attempt to map stuff on the IDENTITY domain.

__iommu_map() will however reject this, given that the type does not
have __IOMMU_DOMAIN_PAGING set. Afaict, this would happen regardless of
this patch actually setting up a page table for the default_domain or
not.


So, afaict, you can't use dma_map_single()/dma_unmap() to operate your
page table on a lately attached iommu domain.

This would also imply that the display device consumes two context
banks, which worries me more than the waste of page tables etc.
