Hello, Robin!

Tegra20 GART isn't a real IOMMU, but a small relocation aperture. We
would only want to use it for a temporal mappings (managed by GPU
driver) for the time while GPU hardware is busy and working with a
sparse DMA buffers, the driver will take care of unmapping the sparse
buffers once GPU work is finished [1]. In a case of contiguous DMA
buffers, we want to bypass the IOMMU and use buffer's phys address
because GART aperture is small and all buffers simply can't fit into
GART for a complex GPU operations that involve multiple buffers [2][3].
The upstream GPU driver still doesn't support GART, but eventually it
needs to be changed.

  		return NULL;

Will a returned NULL tell to IOMMU core that implicit domain shouldn't
be used? Is it possible to leave this driver as-is?

The aim of this patch was just to make the conversion without functional changes wherever possible, i.e. maintain an equivalent to the existing ARM behaviour of allocating its own implicit domains for everything. It doesn't represent any judgement of whether that was ever appropriate for this driver in the first place ;)

Hopefully my other reply already covered the degree of control drivers can have with proper default domains, but do shout if anything wasn't clear.

Cheers,
Robin.
