Wait, the busses that wanted to configure the device, just did so in
their dma_configure callback, so why not do this type of
iommu_device_set_dma_owner() in the few busses that will want this to
happen?

Right now we only have 4 different "busses" that care about this. Out
of the following callbacks:
fsl_mc_dma_configure
host1x_dma_configure
pci_dma_configure
platform_dma_configure

Which one will actually care about the iommu_device_set_dma_owner()
call? All of them? None of them? Some of them?

Again, why can't this just happen in the (very few) bus callbacks that
care about this? In following patches in this series, you turn off this
for the pci_dma_configure users, so what is left? 3 odd bus types that
are not used often. How well did you test devices of those types with
this patchset?

It's fine to have "suppress" fields when they are the minority, but here
it's a _very_ tiny tiny number of actual devices in a system that will
ever get the chance to have this check happen for them and trigger,
right?

I know others told you to put this in the driver core, but I fail to see
how adding this call to the 3 busses that care about it is a lot more
work than this driver core functionality that we all will have to
maintain for forever?

Are you sure you are jumping to the proper error path here? It is not
obvious why you changed this.

thanks,
