Janne Grunau &lt;j@jannau.net&gt; says:

Starting with v2024.10 dev_iommu_dma_unmap calls during device removal
trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the Apple dart iommu driver. The
iommu device is removed before its user. The sparsely used DM_FLAG_VITAL
flag is intended to describe this dependency. Add it to the driver.

Adding this flag is unfortunately not enough since the boot routines
except the arm one simply remove all drivers. Add and use a new function
which calls
    dm_remove_devioce_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL | DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL);
    dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL);
to ensure this order dependency is head consistently.

<title>dm: Add dm_remove_devices_active() for ordered device removal</title>

This replaces dm_remove_devices_flags() calls in all boot
implementations to ensure non vital devices are consistently removed
first. All boot implementation except arch/arm/lib/bootm.c currently
just call dm_remove_devices_flags(DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL). This can result
in crashes when dependencies between devices exists. The driver model's
design document describes DM_FLAG_VITAL as "indicates that the device is
'vital' to the operation of other devices". Device removal at boot
should follow this.

Instead of adding dm_remove_devices_flags() with (DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL |
DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL) everywhere add dm_remove_devices_active() which
does this.

Fixes a NULL pointer deref in the apple dart IOMMU driver during EFI
boot. The xhci-pci (driver which depends on the IOMMU to work) removes
its mapping on removal. This explodes when the IOMMU device was removed
first.

dm_remove_devices_flags() is kept since it is used for testing of
device_remove() calls in dm.

We never free and unmap the memory on errors and we never unmap it when
freeing it. The latter won't cause any problems even on sandbox, but for
consistency always use unmap_sysmem()

The value of variable nt is never used. Just use NULL when calling
efi_check_pe().

The API function is not expected to write to the console. Such output might
have unwanted side effects on the screen layout of an EFI application.

Leave error handling to the caller.

Rather than returning 0, just return an error, since sandbox is not used
with PXE at present.

Add a simple app to use for testing. This is intended to do whatever it
needs to for testing purposes. For now it just prints a message and
exits boot services.

There was a considerable amount of discussion about whether it is OK to
call exit-boot-services and then return to U-Boot. This is not normally
done in a real application, since exit-boot-services is used to
completely disconnect from U-Boot. For now, this part is skipped.
