Consider failure of iommu_get_domain_for_dev() as non-critical and
get rid of the warning printout. This allows IOMMU properties to be
included in the DTB even though the kernel is configured with
CONFIG_IOMMU_API=n or in case a particular IOMMU driver refuses to
enable IOMMU support for a certain slave device and returns error
from the ->add_device() callback.

This is only a cosmetic change that removes console warning printouts.

The warning is there for a reason - at this point, we *expected* the
device to be using an IOMMU for DMA, so a failure is significant. Rather
than masking genuine failures in other cases because your case
deliberately breaks that expectation, simply change the expectation -
i.e. rather than letting of_xlate() succeed then failing add_device()
later, reject the of_xlate() call up-front such that the DMA layer never
gets told about the IOMMU in the first place.

Robin.

With the iommu probe deferral patches, this behavior would change
where the arch_setup_dma_ops would never be called if there is
an error from xlate or add_device. But also the error value from
xlate/add_device is returned back and the probe of the device
would fail for any error. So if there can be cases like above, where
the xlate/add_device callbacks can return error for specific reasons,
should only EPROBE_DEFER be considered and rest of the errors
be filtered out with a WARN probably ?

 Sricharan

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I will try to handle
this in xlate() instead.

Cheers,
