Cases like VFIO wish to attach a device to an existing domain that was

This is a soft failure that can be resolved by using a different domain.
Provide a dedicated errno from the IOMMU driver during attach that the
reason attached failed is because of domain incompatability. EMEDIUMTYPE
is chosen because it is never used within the iommu subsystem today and
evokes a sense that the 'medium' aka the domain is incompatible.
VFIO can use this to know attach is a soft failure and it should continue
searching. Otherwise the attach will be a hard failure and VFIO will
return the code to userspace.
Update all drivers to return EMEDIUMTYPE in their failure paths that are
related to domain incompatability. Also remove adjacent error prints for
these soft failures, to prevent a kernel log spam, since -EMEDIUMTYPE is
clear enough to indicate an incompatability error.
Add kdocs describing this behavior.

This is the wrong check, you want the "if (smmu_domain->smmu != smmu)"
condition further down. If this one fails it's effectively because the
device doesn't have an IOMMU at all, and similar to patch #3 it will be
removed once the core code takes over properly (I even have both those
patches written now!)
Thanks,
Robin.
