dt-bindings: virtio-mmio: Add IOMMU description
The nature of a virtio-mmio node is discovered by the virtio driver at probe time. However the DMA relation between devices must be described statically. When a virtio-mmio node is a virtio-iommu device, it needs an "#iommu-cells" property as specified by bindings/iommu/iommu.txt. Otherwise, the virtio-mmio device may perform DMA through an IOMMU, which requires an "iommus" property. Describe these requirements in the device-tree bindings documentation.

+Required properties for virtio-iommu:
+
+- #iommu-cells: When the node corresponds to a virtio-iommu device, it is
+ linked to DMA masters using the "iommus" or "iommu-map"
+ properties [1][2]. #iommu-cells specifies the size of the
+ "iommus" property. For virtio-iommu #iommu-cells must be
+ 1, each cell describing a single endpoint ID.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- iommus: If the device accesses memory through an IOMMU, it should
+ have an "iommus" property [1]. Since virtio-iommu itself
+ does not access memory through an IOMMU, the "virtio,mmio"
+ node cannot have both an "#iommu-cells" and an "iommus"
+ property.
+
Example:
virtio_block@3000 {
compatible = "virtio,mmio";
reg = <0x3000 0x100>;
interrupts = <41>;
+
+ /* Device has endpoint ID 23 */
+ iommus = <&viommu 23>
}
+
+ viommu: iommu@3100 {
+ compatible = "virtio,mmio";
+ reg = <0x3100 0x100>;
+ interrupts = <42>;
+
+ #iommu-cells = <1>
