[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: wwan: qcom_bam_dmux: Add restricted DMA pool support
From: Vishnu Santhosh

Some Qualcomm SoCs, such as Shikra, run the modem in a separate security
domain with restricted access to system memory. BAM-DMUX DMA mappings
and BAM descriptor FIFOs must therefore be constrained to a designated
memory region that can be shared with the modem. Accesses outside that
region can trigger an XPU violation.
Add memory-region and qcom,vmid properties to the BAM-DMUX binding.
When qcom,vmid is present, the driver SCM-assigns the entire restricted
DMA pool to the local and remote execution environments before requesting
the DMA channels.
The restricted pool then contains the BAM-DMUX mappings. When the BAM DMA
controller references the same pool, its descriptor FIFOs are covered by
the assignment as well.
A related binding change allows the BAM DMA controller to use the same
restricted pool for descriptor FIFO allocations:

Changes in v2:
- Replace the Shikra-specific compatible and coherent RX allocation with
memory-region and qcom,vmid properties.
- Use a restricted DMA pool for BAM-DMUX mappings and BAM descriptor FIFOs.
- SCM-assign the complete pool before requesting the DMA channels.
- Validate the remote VMID and restricted DMA pool configuration.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260714-qcom-bam-dmux-vmid-ext-v1-0-3f29da7cca76@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
