Hello,

This patchset finally perform cleanup of custom code in s5p-mfc codec
driver. The first part is removal of custom, driver specific code for
intializing and handling of reserved memory. Instead, a generic code for
reserved memory regions is used. Then, once it is done, the proper setup
of DMA parameters (max segment size) is applied for all multimedia
devices found on Exynos SoCs to let them properly handle shared buffers
mapped into contiguous DMA address space. The last patch adds support
for IOMMU to MFC driver. Some additional code is needed because of
specific requirements of MFC device firmware (see patch 7 for more
details). When no IOMMU is available, the code fallbacks to generic
reserved memory regions.

After applying this patchset, MFC device works correctly when IOMMU is
either enabled or disabled.

Patches have been tested on top of linux-next from 20151207. I would
prefer to merge patches 1-2 via Samsung tree and patches 3-7 via media
tree (there are no compile-time dependencies between patches 1-2 and
3-7). Patches have been tested on Odroid U3 (Exynos 4412 based) and
Odroid XU3 (Exynos 5422 based) boards.

One more notice: this is an updated version of the old patch initially
posted here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-August/189259.html

The main change since that is adaptation for generic reserved memory
bindings, which have been merged a while ago and added support for IOMMU.

Best regards
