Subject: [PATCH v5 15/16] dt-bindings: of: Add restricted DMA pool

Introduce the new compatible string, restricted-dma-pool, for restricted
DMA. One can specify the address and length of the restricted DMA memory
region by restricted-dma-pool in the reserved-memory node.

+        - restricted-dma-pool: This indicates a region of memory meant to be
+          used as a pool of restricted DMA buffers for a set of devices. The
+          memory region would be the only region accessible to those devices.
+          When using this, the no-map and reusable properties must not be set,
+          so the operating system can create a virtual mapping that will be used
+          for synchronization. The main purpose for restricted DMA is to
+          mitigate the lack of DMA access control on systems without an IOMMU,
+          which could result in the DMA accessing the system memory at
+          unexpected times and/or unexpected addresses, possibly leading to data
+          leakage or corruption. The feature on its own provides a basic level
+          of protection against the DMA overwriting buffer contents at
+          unexpected times. However, to protect against general data leakage and
+          system memory corruption, the system needs to provide way to lock down
+          the memory access, e.g., MPU.
