The fact that someone disabled a particular IOMMU's node doesn't necessarily mean that the HW can actually do that; an IOMMU might always be active in HW and always translate accesses by some master. In that case, the fallback to dma-ranges wouldn't correlate with what the HW actually does. Perhaps all we need is to add a note to that effect here? _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
