This looks fairly neat and clean.

I'm still worried about using #stream-id-cells in DT nodes though. While
I do understand that the *Linux* device model currently only allows each
struct device to be affected by a single IOMMU, I worry that encoding
that same restriction into DT is a mistake. I'd far rather see a
property like:

SMMU:
    smmu: smmu at xxxxxx {
        #smmu-cells = <1>;
    }

Affected device:
    smmus = <&smmu 1>;
    (perhaps with smmu-names too)

That would allow the DT to represent basically arbitrary HW configurations.

The implementation of this patch would then be almost as trivial; you'd
just need to walk the smmus property to find each phandle in turn, just
like any other phandle+specifier property, and validate that the SMMU
driver was already probe()d for each.
