Yes, I can live with that hack on the proviso that it will be removed by v3.20 Oh, and please put an ugly /* */ comment block in the #ifdef CONFIG_OF_IOMMU section that makes it really clear that it is an ugly hack and will be removed in the next release. I don't want anyone getting ideas that adding pointers to struct device_node is a good idea. g. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
