Funny... while the Hikey 970 DRM driver has such IOMMU code, it
doesn't actually use it!
The driver has a function called hisi_dss_smmu_config() with
sets the registers on a different way in order to use IOMMU
or not, at the hisi_fb_pan_display() function. It can also
use a mode called "afbcd".
Well, this function sets both to false:
bool afbcd = false;
bool mmu_enable = false;
I ended commenting out the code which depends at the iommu
driver and everything is working as before.
So, I'll just forget about this iommu driver, as we can live
without that.
For now, I'll keep the mmu code there commented out, as
it could be useful on a future port for it to use io-pgtable.

Robin,
Can the Panfrost driver use io-pgtable while the KMS driver
won't be using it? Or this would cause it to not work?
My end goal here is to be able to test the Panfrost driver ;-)
Thanks,
Mauro
