The SMI local arbiters (larbs) gate a multimedia subsystem's access to DRAM. On the MT8188 the display data path feeds through the VDO1 larbs (larb2 and larb3), whose clocks must be ungated for the HDMI pipeline to reach the framebuffer.
There is no dedicated SMI larb driver upstream, as Linux handles the larbs through its SMI/IOMMU framework (drivers/memory/mtk-smi.c). Add a minimal U-Boot driver that ungates the clocks of one larb, and export mtk_smi_larb_enable() and mtk_smi_larb_disable() so that the DMA master behind a larb can tie it to its own lifetime. The larbs are not video devices: they serve every multimedia master (display, video codec, camera, MDP), so the driver lives in drivers/memory with its own Kconfig symbol rather than being built as part of one master's driver. Every "mediatek,mt8188-smi-larb" node binds, which is cheap, and a larb is only probed once a master asks for it.
