I'm afraid this is not a very good idea, if the heaps represent some
_physical_
address ranges, e.g. a SRAM memory (read below for our weird use case).
In this case, the way I understand DT philosophy, it should be a subnode
of the
respective axi/apb/whatever node where it's connected. Correct me if I'm
wrong.

I tried to mess as little as possible (e.g. not mess at all) with the
guts of
ION, so ended up with an extra check. If you want, I can hack into the
ion itself,
and send the patch for the next respin.

In our weird use case we use ION to share buffers between NeuroMatrix
DSP
cores, video decoder, video output device and a userspace application
that
orchestrates the whole process. The system has several dedicated SRAM
banks,
that should represented as dedicated ION heaps. Those are differently
wired in
the system (e.g. ARM core can't even execute code from some of them) and
to
achieve maximum performance certain buffers should be only allocated
from
certain banks for the thing to work fast.
(Yes, it's just as scary as it sounds)
In other words - we need several coherent pools, and
dma_declare_coherent
looked like the only existing way to tell ION:
"hey, we want a heap out of this very physical region!"
In reality that's mostly our only use case, all the rest heap types look
like mostly
useful for testing rather than in production, as a smarter replacement
of ion-dummy
driver which I used as a reference while writing this one.

I guess it's okay for testing purposes. Unless I'm missing by the end of
the workday a simple way to do it properly.

Oops, missed that one. Since I couldn't test clock gating (sram clock's
not gated on my hw),
I just settled for the same way they do it in drivers/misc/sram.c (And
they don't handle
deferral at all there!)

Got it, I'll make ion.h #include <dt-bindings/ion,physmem.h> then.
