ASoC: qcom: q6apm-dai: add SCM buffer assignment for mDSP platforms
On platforms such as Qualcomm Shikra, audio is served by the modem DSP (mDSP) which runs in a stage-2 protected context. Unlike ADSP targets where SMMU-mapped system RAM is directly accessible, the mDSP cannot reach the PCM buffers unless they are explicitly SCM-assigned to the appropriate Virtual Machine IDs (VMIDs). Without this assignment, audio does not function on these platforms. At probe time, the driver reads the GPR domain_id from the parent APM device to determine which DSP serves audio. When domain_id matches GPR_DOMAIN_ID_ADSP the existing SMMU/iommus path is taken and no new code is exercised. When domain_id matches GPR_DOMAIN_ID_MODEM, the driver verifies that qcom_scm is available (deferring otherwise) and that iommus is absent (the two mechanisms are mutually exclusive), then enables the SCM assignment path. In the SCM path the driver parses the optional memory-region entries in DT. The first entry (memory-region[0] / audio_heap_mem) is the control-path carveout used by the DSP firmware for command traffic; since the mDSP operates on stage-2 protected memory, this carveout must be SCM-assigned at probe time itself for the firmware to function. It is SCM-assigned to HLOS (retained as source owner, RW) plus MSS_MSA and LPASS (consumer VMIDs, both RW) and restored to HLOS-only ownership via devm_add_action_or_reset() at device removal. The second entry (memory-region[1]) is the data-path buffer pool from which per-stream DMA buffers are carved out. This pool is attached via of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx() so that PCM buffers allocate directly from the carveout instead of system RAM. The data-path pool (memory-region[1]) is SCM-assigned to the consumer VMIDs as a single whole-pool operation at probe time, rather than per-stream in pcm_new()/compr_open(). qcom_scm_assign_mem() consumes an entry in a small fixed-size TZ memory-protection table that is shared platform-wide; assigning individual per-stream slices (up to Q6APM_POOL_MAX_STREAMS times) exhausts that table and hangs the SMC call, which was observed as a crash while bringing up the sound card on Shikra. Since the whole pool is already accessible to the mDSP once assigned, pcm_new()/pcm_free()/compr_open()/compr_free() skip the per-buffer SCM assign/unassign entirely when the data-path pool is in use (has_reserved_mem), and only fall back to per-buffer assignment when use_scm_assign is set without a data-path pool present. Compressed audio streams follow the same pattern: the DMA buffer allocated in compr_open() is SCM-assigned immediately after allocation and unassigned in compr_free() before the buffer is freed, unless it was carved from the pre-assigned data-path pool. The VMIDs are static per SoC and hardcoded in the driver (HLOS, MSS_MSA, LPASS) rather than read from DT, following the upstream pattern used by rmtfs_mem and qcom_q6v5_pas. Buffer constraints are capped at reserved_buf_size when the data-path pool is present, and snd_pcm_set_fixed_buffer_all() is used for both paths so the carveout is not subject to the preallocate_dma module parameter. All new code paths are gated on use_scm_assign (false when domain_id is not GPR_DOMAIN_ID_MODEM), ensuring existing ADSP/iommus targets are completely unaffected.
