Hi, This is a long overdue resend and slight update from the last version[1] of Ion devicetree bindings. The goal here is to keep the Ion bindings minimalist. I experimented with dropping all but a dummy devicetree node and just matching on the machine name in the platform file. This ends up being a nightmare for the DMA (i.e. CMA) heap type. That heap requires a device structure to do its allocation and setting up a device structure properly isn't pretty. I have other ideas for working with that heap if this gets NAKed. I've thought about the idea of a devicetree overlay for specifying more platform configuration but that a) requires Android actually load the overlay at the right time in the framework and b) opens up an entirely new can of worms. In conclusion, if we assume that Ion platform support is something anyone actually wants, this is still the least bad and intrusive idea I've come up with. There exists hisilicon Ion code but it came in without being fully acked. I've converted it over as an example of how it might look. As always, feedback appreciated.
