Hmm, it would be nice if Joerg could confirm this before we remove the
driver code.
Joerg: can an IOMMU driver rely on not receiving contradictory ->attach
callbacks for devices in the same group? Robin is proposing that we
remove the group tracking code from the ARM SMMU driver which is a nice
cleanup but leaves us open to silent misconfiguration if we are asked to
violate the group constraints.

I'm not keen on losing this structure. How about we instead change the
sids array to be a linked list of {struct device, sid[]} and then change
arm_smmu_install_ste_for_group to take a device pointer as well?
