Loading the firmware requires an allocation of IOVA space to make sure
that the VIC's Falcon microcontroller can read the firmware if address
translation via the SMMU is enabled.
However, the allocation currently happens at a time where the geometry
of an IOMMU domain may not have been initialized yet. This happens for
example on Tegra186 and later where an ARM SMMU is used. Domains which
are created by the ARM SMMU driver postpone the geometry setup until a
device is attached to the domain. This is because IOMMU domains aren't
attached to a specific IOMMU instance at allocation time and hence the
input address space, which defines the geometry, is not known yet.
Work around this by postponing the firmware load until it is needed at
the time where a channel is opened to the VIC. At this time the shared
IOMMU domain's geometry has been properly initialized.
As a byproduct this allows the Tegra DRM to be created in the absence
of VIC firmware, since the VIC initialization no longer fails if the
firmware can't be found.
