Hm...the above code happens to work with our "dma-window" format right
now, but most likely this seems incmpatible with "ibm,dma-window"
format. I couldn't find the official format previously. I'm wondering
that those "(ibm,)dma-window" and "(ibm,)dma-range" may be able to be
generally used since those parameters are quite common to any
IOMMUs. I'll hold off those patches at least this time

Joerg, as Stephen proposed originally. Could you please revert or drop
the original one this time?

  [PATCH 1/2] iommu/tegra: smmu: Add device tree support for SMMU

PS: I'm being off-line'd mostly next four weeks, and my response would
be delayed.
