I don't have any manuals for v7.2, so I can only assume. Yes, it looks
to me very much like those EMU registers are missing in your SysMMU
IP-core: I remember seeing some similar SError messages while trying
to access some incorrect MMIO addresses. Good news is that once this
patch series is fixed and accepted, you can *probably* base your work
on top of it (as I only validated it with EMU registers for now). I
mean you can add some real IP-core users of that IOMMU, like graphics
(DPU), audio, camera, etc. Not sure though if it would be enough to
just add some DTS nodes, or your SoC support has to be added to some
drivers first.
