H A D | Kconfig | a3f447a4 Fri Feb 06 04:44:08 CST 2015 Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com> iommu/msm: Mark driver BROKEN
The MSM IOMMU driver unconditionally calls bus_set_iommu(), which is a very stupid thing to do on multi-platform kernels. While marking the driver BROKEN may seem a little extreme, there is no other way to make the driver skip initialization. One of the problems is that it doesn't have devicetree binding documentation and the driver doesn't contain a struct of_device_id table either, so no way to check that it is indeed valid to set up the IOMMU operations for this driver.
This fixes a problem on Tegra20 where the DRM driver will try to use the obviously non-existent MSM IOMMU.
Marking the driver BROKEN shouldn't do any harm, since there aren't any users currently. There is no struct of_device_id table, so the device can't be instantiated from device tree, and I couldn't find any code that would instantiate a matching platform_device either, so the driver is effectively unused.
