I guess the point I was trying to make is that previously we would not
have written anything to the stream ID register and so ignoring the
error here might end up writing to a register that previously we would
not have written to. Looking at the current code more closely I see now
that the reason why we wouldn't have written to the register is because
we would've crashed before.

So I think this okay.

Yeah, exactly. It would've just skipped over everything, basically.

In a nutshell, it's a hook that allows us to configure the memory
controller when a device is attached to the IOMMU. The memory controller
contains a set of registers that specify which memory client uses which
stream ID by default. For some devices this can be overridden (which is
where tegra_dev_iommu_get_stream_id() comes into play in those drivers)
and for other devices we can't override, which is when the memory
controller defaults come into play.

Anyway, I took a closer look at this and ran some tests. Turns out that
tegra186_mc_probe_device() really only gets called for devices that have
their fwspec properly initialized anyway, so I don't think there's
anything special we need to do here.

Strictly from a static analysis point of view I suppose we could now
have a situation that sid is uninitialized when the call to
tegra_dev_iommu_get_stream_id() fails and so using it in the loop is not
correct, theoretically, but I think that's just not a case that we'll
ever hit in practice.

So either way is fine with me. I have a slight preference for just
returning 0 in case tegra_dev_iommu_get_stream_id() fails, because it's
simple to do and avoids any of these (theoretical) ambiguities. So
whichever way you decide:
