For example, if IOMMU is optional, what happens with this sequence: driver probes without IOMMU driver calls dma_map_?() IOMMU driver probes h/w accesses DMA buffer --> BOOM!

Individual I/O (IOMMU slave) drivers are completely unaware of the presence or absence of an IOMMU; they just use the DMA API, which is the same regardless of an IOMMU being used or not. While for GPIO/IRQ/CLK/DMA/... have request/get_{gpio,irq,clk,dma,...} APIs for a driver to get a reference, which can return -EPROBE_DEFER, no such thing exists for IOMMUs. This is handled by the IOMMU core instead. Using the IOMMU or not is more like a system policy decision.

Not all DT bindings are mandatory bindings. Add support for optional DT bindings and mark iommus, iommu-map, dmas as optional DT bindings. Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> --- drivers/of/property.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
