This requirement describes one of the possible cases of platform device.
My answer from another email:
Those devices exist and can be assigned to a domain, they are configured
slightly differently in comparison with devices with interrupts
("xen,path" is not needed for the former), other code paths are executed
in Xen.
**********
There was an intention to keep in separate requirements all relevant
possible cases that can be done using what the passthrough feature
provides (let's say all possible combinations of dom0less passthrough
properties).
This is why the document has, for example, the following special cases: - Assign interrupt-less platform device to domain - Assign non-DMA-capable platform device to domain - Assign DMA-capable platform device to domain (with IOMMU) - Assign DMA-capable platform device to domain (without IOMMU) ...Now, as I got from other emails, this scheme is not suited well and needs to be reworked. + +`XenSwdgn~passthrough_assign_interrupt_less_platform_device~1` + +Description: +Xen shall assign a specified platform device that has only a MMIO region+(does not have any interrupts) to a domain during its creation using passthrough+device tree.Is this requirement meant to be written from a dom0less point of view? Asking because platform device are assigned using an xl configuration for non-dom0less. Yes. The more, all requirements in this document imply boot time domains.

IOW, can this be combined with the deassign with IOMMU? The point was that on deassigment, Xen additionally detaches the device from the IOMMU (if the device is protected by the IOMMU) in comparison with the device not protected by the IOMMU, and this needs to be covered and tested somehow. Therefore, two separate requirement exist here. Or do you, perhaps, mean to combine with "Deassign non-DMA-capable platform device from domain"?
