SubjectRe: [PATCH] iommu/vt-d: remove redundant variable no_platform_optin
From

Hi Zhenzhong,

It's actually not.

If CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set, we will get "dmar_disable =
1" and "no_platform_optin = 0". In this case, we must force the iommu on
and set dmar_disable = 0.

The real use case: if a kernel built with [CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON
= n] running on a platform with thunderbolt ports, we must force IOMMU
on so that the system could be protected from possible malicious
peripherals.

Best regards,
baolu
