Even some of the x86 platforms use dev_is_pci() to special-case PCI devices. That's just because PCI is fundamentally different from fixed devices such as those on a platform bus. > The dev_get_dev_node() is under CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_LEGACY_DT_BINDINGS (!). > Guys, doesn't it look strange to you? :) See above, there are other cases where PCI devices are treated special. For example, pretty much every driver that supports PCI differentiates between PCI and other devices in their ->device_group() callback. > The arm-smmu driver does a similar thing for the modern bindings to what > Nicolin's v3 is doing. I don't really have any objections to doing something similar to what ARM SMMU does. My main objection is to the use of a global pointer that is used to look up the SMMU. As you see, the ARM SMMU driver also does this lookup via driver_find_device_by_fwnode() rather than storing a global pointer. Also you can't quite equate ARM SMMU with Tegra SMMU. ARM SMMU can properly deal with devices behind a PCI host bridge, whereas on Tegra all those devices are thrown in the same bucket with the same IOMMU domain. So it's to be expected that some things will have to be different between the two drivers. > >>> If we can't come to an agreement on globalizing mc pointer, would > >>> it be possible to pass tegra_mc_driver through tegra_smmu_probe() > >>> so we can continue to use driver_find_device_by_fwnode() as v1? > >>> > >>> v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/26/68 > >> > >> tegra_smmu_probe() already takes a struct tegra_mc *.

Have you also seen that sun50i-iommu does look up the SMMU from a phandle using of_find_device_by_node()? So I think you've shown yourself that even "modern" drivers avoid global pointers and look up via phandle. Thierry
