I know I'm kinda late to the game, but this seems weird to me,
especially given the later patches in the series like:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200817220238.603465-19-robdclark@xxxxxxxxx

Specifically in that patch you can see that this IOMMU already had a
compatible string and we're changing it and throwing away the
model-specific string?  I'm guessing that you're just trying to make
it easier for code to identify the adreno iommu, but it seems like a
better way would have been to just add the adreno compatible in the
middle, like:

      - description: Qcom Adreno GPUs implementing "arm,smmu-v2"
        items:
          - enum:
              - qcom,msm8996-smmu-v2
              - qcom,msm8998-smmu-v2
              - qcom,sc7180-smmu-v2
              - qcom,sdm845-smmu-v2
        - const: qcom,adreno-smmu
        - const: qcom,smmu-v2

Then we still have the SoC-specific compatible string in case we need
it but we also have the generic one?  It also means that we're not
deleting the old compatible string...
