I think this comment is unrelated to the rest of this patch. I also
think that at the end of the carveout-rework we should have a patch
removing this ops.

As mentioned before, I consider it perfectly viable for rsc->da to be
ANY and the driver providing a fixed carveout.

In a system with an iommu it's possible that rsc->len is larger than
some carveout->len and va is NULL here so we fall through, allocate some
memory and remap a segment of the carveout. (Or hopefully fails
attempting).

rproc_find_carveout_by_da() will return a reference into a carveout, now
we add another overlapping carveout into the same list.


I think it would be saner to not allow the resource table to describe
subsets of carveouts registered by the driver.

In which case this would better find a carveout by name or exact da,
then check that the pa, da, len and rsc->flags are adequate.

Currently this function ignore invalid values of da when !domain, so I
think it would be good you can submit this sanity check in it's own
patch so that anyone bisecting this would know why their broken firmware
suddenly isn't loadable.
