Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Update "iommu.strict" documentation
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 15:57:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2c8c06e1b449d6b060c5bf9ad3b403cd142f405d.1623682646.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)

Consolidating the flush queue logic also meant that the "iommu.strict"
option started taking effect on x86 as well. Make sure we document that.

Fixes: a250c23f15c2 ("iommu: remove DOMAIN_ATTR_DMA_USE_FLUSH_QUEUE")
Signed-off-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>
