[PATCH 0/3] Qualcomm quirky SMMU support

Qualcomm platforms are heavily locked down, in many cases offering no
way for users to gain EL2 or EL3 code execution and including many
additional security features. Among these are modifications made to
the SMMU behaviour (done by having the hypervisor intercept register
accesses). On many platforms it is not possible to disable the SMMU,
and not possible to configure streams in BYPASS.

To enable support for peripherals like USB which depend on DMA, we must
allocate a context bank on the SMMU and configure an IDENTITY mapping.

This patch series fixes support for building IOMMU without CONFIG_PCI.

Then, it introduces first introduces support for a .connect() op in
IOMMU drivers, this is called before the peripheral drivers .probe()
function and allows for IOMMU devices to perform one-time setup.

Lastly, introduce a new driver which supports the SMMU as found on
Qualcomm platforms, when a DMA capable peripherals is probed, this
driver will first see if the previous stage bootloader configured a
context bank for the given stream ID already, and if not then it
allocates and configures one so that DMA accesses will work.

There are no in-tree users for this driver yet, however it is required
for upcoming USB support on SDM845 and future Qualcomm platforms.
