Hi Ulf,

Since i.MXQM SMMU related code still not upstream yet, so I apply your patches on our internal Linux branch based on v5.4.24, and find it do not work on my side. Maybe for platform core drivers, there is a gap between v5.4.24 and v5.6-rc7 which has the impact.
I will try to put our SMMU related code into v5.6-rc7, then do the test again.


Best Regards
Haibo Chen
