This series of patches attempts to clean up the use of architecture
internal functions in drivers, and removes some functions from view
in the asm/ headers. I'm also considering whether we need to add
some linker magic to hide symbols when building the built-in.o files.
This was triggered by 3rd party drivers "going under the covers" of
the DMA API and calling the dmac_*() functions directly, a practice
which I have always refused to allow. This also breaks module
building (which is the big hint that they're doing something wrong.)
However, it also came to light that various drivers are using
__cpuc_* functions directly, which are non-portable, and is another
instance of "going under the covers" and tinkering with what should
be kept as architecture implementation details.
This series addresses some of these points. It:
(a) moves dmac_map_area() and dmac_unmap_area() prototypes out of
asm/cacheflush.h and into arch/arm/mm.
(b) provide a secure_flush() call for the Qualcomm secure monitor
code.
(c) stop tegra smmu driver(s) from using __cpuc_flush_dcache_area,
something which necessitates additional complexity to deal with
the ARM vs ARM64 differences. It should be using the DMA API.
However, the Tegra SMMU driver is in really bad shape, and this
isn't a simple conversion - it requires a lot of additional
fixes to bring the code up to scratch.
It leaves the Rockchip IOMMU driver for the time being, but that is also
something which needs cleaning up in the same way as the Tegra SMMU
driver.
