-SMI (Smart Multimedia Interface) Common
-
-The hardware block diagram please check bindings/iommu/mediatek,iommu.txt
-
-Mediatek SMI have two generations of HW architecture, here is the list
-which generation the SoCs use:
-generation 1: mt2701 and mt7623.
-generation 2: mt2712, mt6779, mt8167, mt8173 and mt8183.
-
-There's slight differences between the two SMI, for generation 2, the
-register which control the iommu port is at each larb's register base. But
-for generation 1, the register is at smi ao base(smi always on register
-base). Besides that, the smi async clock should be prepared and enabled for
-SMI generation 1 to transform the smi clock into emi clock domain, but that is
-not needed for SMI generation 2.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : must be one of :
-	"mediatek,mt2701-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt2712-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt6779-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt7623-smi-common", "mediatek,mt2701-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt8167-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt8173-smi-common"
-	"mediatek,mt8183-smi-common"
-- reg : the register and size of the SMI block.
-- power-domains : a phandle to the power domain of this local arbiter.
-- clocks : Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
-- clock-names : must contain 3 entries for generation 1 smi HW and 2 entries
-  for generation 2 smi HW as follows:
-  - "apb" : Advanced Peripheral Bus clock, It's the clock for setting
-	    the register.
-  - "smi" : It's the clock for transfer data and command.
-	    They may be the same if both source clocks are the same.
-  - "async" : asynchronous clock, it help transform the smi clock into the emi
-	      clock domain, this clock is only needed by generation 1 smi HW.
-  and these 2 option clocks for generation 2 smi HW:
-  - "gals0": the path0 clock of GALS(Global Async Local Sync).
-  - "gals1": the path1 clock of GALS(Global Async Local Sync).
-  Here is the list which has this GALS: mt6779 and mt8183.
-
-Example:
-	smi_common: smi@14022000 {
-		compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-smi-common";
-		reg = <0 0x14022000 0 0x1000>;
