Subject: iommu/arm-smmu: Set privileged attribute to 'default' instead of 'unprivileged'
From: Sricharan R <sricharan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit e19898077cfb642fe151ba22981e795c74d9e114 ]
Currently the driver sets all the device transactions privileges
to UNPRIVILEGED, but there are cases where the iommu masters wants
to isolate privileged supervisor and unprivileged user.
So don't override the privileged setting to unprivileged, instead
set it to default as incoming and let it be controlled by the pagetable
settings.
