Hi John,
Thank you for your comment.

Current dma-buf heaps can handle only default CMA. This introduces
dma_heap_add_cma() function to attach CMA heaps that belongs to a device.

At first, the driver calls of_reserved_mem_device_init() to set
memory-region property associated with reserved-memory defined as CMA
to the device. And when the driver calls this dma_heap_add_cma(),
the CMA will be added to dma-buf heaps.

For example, prepare CMA node named "linux,cma@10000000" and
specify the node for memory-region property. After the above calls
in the driver, a device file "/dev/dma_heap/linux,cma@10000000"
associated with the CMA become available as dma-buf heaps.

Hey! Sorry for the slow response on this! I just realized I never replied!

I waited but no problem.

Looks sane to me.  Being able to expose different multiple CMA heaps
is needed, and I agree this way (as opposed to my earlier dts
appraoch) is probably the best approach. The only bit I'm so-so on is
adding the CMA heap specific call in the dma-heap.h, but at the same
time I can't justify adding a whole new header for a single function.

I'm also a little worried about whether "CMA specific" call is in
the dma-heap.h, however I can't find another solution.

Do you have a upstream driver that you plan to make use this new call?

Unfortunately I don't have an upstream driver using this call.

This call is called from dma-buf heaps "importer" or "customer",
and I only made an example (do nothing) importer driver
to test the call.

We want to have in-tree users of code added.

I think this is a generic way to use non-default CMA heaps, however,
we need in-tree "importer" drivers to want to use non-default CMA heaps.
I don't find it from now.

But if so, feel free to add my:

To this patch when you submit the driver changes.

Thank you,
