[PATCH v6 3/4] ASoC: dt-bindings: qcom,q6apm-dai: add memory-region and relax iommus

From: Ajay Kumar Nandam

Date: Wed Sep 23 2026 - 14:11:23 EST


On modem-DSP (mDSP) platforms the DSP runs in a stage-2 protected
context and cannot use the SMMU. PCM buffers must live in reserved-memory
carveouts that are SCM-assigned to the appropriate VMIDs.

Add a memory-region property (1-2 entries) for the control-path and
data-path carveouts, and require q6apm-dais nodes to describe exactly
one access path: iommus for SMMU-backed systems or memory-region for
mDSP systems. Remove iommus from the common required list since mDSP
platforms have neither IOMMU nor VMID DT properties.
