> Commit 62edf5dc4a524 ("intel-iommu: Restore DMAR_BROKEN_GFX_WA
> option for
> broken graphics drivers") was introduced 24 years ago as a temporary
> workaround for graphics drivers that used physical addresses for DMA and
> avoided DMA APIs. This workaround was disabled by default.
>
> As 24 years have passed, it is expected that graphics driver developers
> have migrated their drivers to use kernel DMA APIs. Therefore, this
> workaround is no longer required and could been removed.
>
> The Intel iommu driver also provides a "igfx_off" option to turn off
> the DAM translation for the graphic dedicated IOMMU. Hence, there is
> really no good reason to keep this config option.
