drm_gem_cma_prime_import_sg_table() will fail if the number of entries
in the sg_table > 1. However, you can have a device that uses an IOMMU
engine and can map a discontiguous buffer with multiple entries that
have consecutive sg_dma_addresses, effectively making it contiguous.
Allow for that scenario by testing the entries in the sg_table for
contiguous coverage.

Hi,

This patch is the only change I need in order to be able to use existing
IOMMU domain infrastructure with the Mali DP driver. I have tested the
patch and I know it works correctly for my setup, but I would like to get
some comments on whether I am on the right path or if CMA really wants to
see an sg_table with only one entry.

Best regards,
Liviu

CMA, as the memory allocator, doesn't care as it doesn't even see the sg 
table. The drm_gem_cma_helper is badly named as it doesn't depend on CMA, it 
should have been called drm_gem_dma_contig_helper or something similar.

The assumption at the base of that helper library is that the memory is DMA 
contiguous. Your patch guarantees that, so it should be fine. I've quickly 
checked the drivers using drm_gem_cma_prime_import_sg_table and none of them 
use cma_obj->sgt, so I think there's no risk of breakage. However, I would 
prefer if you updated the drm_gem_cma_object structure documentation to 
explicitly state that the sgt can contain multiple entries but that those 
entries are guaranteed to have contiguous DMA addresses.

With the documentation update,

I could, but I'd first need to set dim up, and I'm currently abroad with a bad 
internet connection and a big deadline for the middle of next week (I know, 
lots of excuses), so it's not very convenient for me at this time.
