Agilex5 integrates an ARM SMMU (System Memory Management Unit) with
Translation Buffer Units (TBUs) assigned to various peripherals,
including the NAND controller.
The Cadence HP NAND controller ("cdns,hp-nfc") on Agilex5 is behind a
TBU connected to the system's SMMUv3. To support this, the controller
requires an `iommus` property in the device tree to properly configure
address translation through the IOMMU framework.
Adding the `iommus` property to the binding schema allows the OS
to associate the NAND controller with its corresponding SMMU stream ID.
This enables:
- DMA address translation between the controller and system memory
- Memory protection for NAND operations
- Proper functioning of the IOMMU framework in secure or virtualized
environments
This change documents the IOMMU integration for the NAND controller
on platforms like Agilex5 where such hardware is present.
