That's true that this RCiEP only appears behind the HiSilicon's IOMMU which using
SMMU v3 driver.

As Robin mentioned below, not only PCI devices but some platform devices also want
to passthrough the IOMMU. I noticed there're already some fields describe the device's
DMA information in struct device, so follow your point can it go there if we're going
to make it more generic?

Anyway if we're going to make all these quirks in a more generic place, I'll willing
to add this device there and have a test.

> Oh, don't think I *like* having quirks in the driver, it just seems like the least-worst choice from a bad bunch. All of the default domain quirks so far (including this one) exist for integrated devices and/or dodgy firmware setups such that they are platform-specific, so there is no technical reason for trying to split *some* of them off into a generic mechanism when the driver-based platform-specific mechanism still needs to exist anyway (some of them do depend on driver state as well).

Yes Intel's IOMMU passthrough some PCI devices in this way and this patch imitates that.

btw Will, much appreciated if you could have a look at the perf and PMU part of this driver.:)
