That's good news, and yes now that I see it, some stuff on my series is overly
complicated. Specially around of_translate_*().

On top of that, you removed in of_dma_get_range():

-	/*
-	 * At least empty ranges has to be defined for parent node if
-	 * DMA is supported
-	 */
-	if (!ranges)
-		break;

Which I assumed was bound to the standard and makes things easier.

I reviewed everything, I did find a minor issue, see the patch attached.

Also I tested your branch both on an RPi4, with a PCI device that depends on
these changes and by comparing the OF debugs logs on a Layerscape board which
uses dma-ranges, dma-coherent and IOMMU. All works as expected.

Will you send this series for v5.5? Please keep me in the loop, I'll review and
test the final version.

Nicolas

Subject: [PATCH] of: device: do not bail of_dma_configure() when force_dma is
 set

Some Xen devices call of_dma_configure() without an actual DT node in
order for it to set its 'dma_ops'. That's the original intent of
'force_dma', honor that behaviour.
