gpu: host1x: Overhaul host1x_bo_{pin,unpin}() API
The host1x_bo_pin() and host1x_bo_unpin() APIs are used to pin and unpin
buffers during host1x job submission. Pinning currently returns the SG
table and the DMA address (an IOVA if an IOMMU is used or a physical
address if no IOMMU is used) of the buffer. The DMA address is only used
for buffers that are relocated, whereas the host1x driver will map
gather buffers into its own IOVA space so that they can be processed by
the CDMA engine.
This approach has a couple of issues. On one hand it's not very useful
to return a DMA address for the buffer if host1x doesn't need it. On the
other hand, returning the SG table of the buffer is suboptimal because a
single SG table cannot be shared for multiple mappings, because the DMA
address is stored within the SG table, and the DMA address may be
different for different devices.
Subsequent patches will move the host1x driver over to the DMA API which
doesn't work with a single shared SG table. Fix this by returning a new
SG table each time a buffer is pinned. This allows the buffer to be
referenced by multiple jobs for different engines.
Change the prototypes of host1x_bo_pin() and host1x_bo_unpin() to take a
struct device *, specifying the device for which the buffer should be
pinned. This is required in order to be able to properly construct the
SG table. While at it, make host1x_bo_pin() return the SG table because
that allows us to return an ERR_PTR()-encoded error code if we need to,
or return NULL to signal that we don't need the SG table to be remapped
and can simply use the DMA address as-is. At the same time, returning
the DMA address is made optional because in the example of command
buffers, host1x doesn't need to know the DMA address since it will have
to create its own mapping anyway.
