The bootloader configures a reserved memory region for framebuffer,
which is protected by the IOMMU. The kernel-side driver is oblivious as
of which memory region is set up by the bootloader. In such case, the
IOMMU tries to reference the reserved region - which is not reserved in
the kernel anymore - and it results in an unrecoverable page fault. More
information about it is provided in [1].

Add support for reserved regions using iommu_dma_get_resv_regions().
For OF supported boards, this requires defining the region in the
iommu-addresses property of the IOMMU owner's node.

Applied to iommu (samsung/exynos), thanks!

[1/1] iommu/exynos: add support for reserved regions
