I don't think that SOC specific code needs a bus notifier for setting the stream ID. It can be done as a part of SOC specific initialization. The device tree can be updated to reflect the correct stream ID (SMMU driver can get the updated stream ID from device tree). 
I was thinking more on the lines of updating the device stream id while attaching a device to the domain.
