reporting path. For the drivers that supports it, a unique
type should be defined. For the driver that does not support
it, this field is the IOMMU_HW_INFO_TYPE_DEFAULT that is 0.
Hence, such drivers do not need to care this field.The meaning of "driver_type" is much broader than reporting hw_info.
let's be accurate to call it as "hw_info_type". and while we have two separate fields for one feature where is the check enforced on whether both are provided?
Is it simpler to return the type directly in @hw_info?
If I remember correctly, the vendor iommu type and hardware info are reported to user space separately.
