Hi, just stopping by to share my own thoughts.

First, I don't mind if this series doesn't get applied as-is. After seeing
the eMMC driver in its current state:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-msm.c?h=v6.0-rc6#n2437

I can understand that the devicetree maintainers don't want to see new SoCs
touching drivers unnecessarily. Second, I don't see enough quirks to
justify needing all compatible strings in the driver (2 quirky SoCs
compared to 16 total not counting adreno iommu):

    $ grep qcom, drivers/iommu/arm/arm-smmu/arm-smmu-qcom.c
    	if (of_device_is_compatible(np, "qcom,msm8996-smmu-v2"))
    	* All targets that use the qcom,adreno-smmu compatible string *should*
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,adreno" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,mdp4" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7180-mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7180-mss-pil" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7280-mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7280-mss-pil" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc8180x-mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm8250-mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sdm845-mdss" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sdm845-mss-pil" },
    	if (of_device_is_compatible(np, "qcom,sdm845-smmu-500"))
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,msm8998-smmu-v2" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,qcm2290-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7180-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc7280-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc8180x-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sc8280xp-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sdm630-smmu-v2" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sdm670-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sdm845-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm6125-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm6350-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm6375-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm8150-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm8250-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm8350-smmu-500" },
    	{ .compatible = "qcom,sm8450-smmu-500" },
    	if (of_device_is_compatible(np, "qcom,adreno-smmu"))

I don't know if it's better to get myself involved in fixing this, though.
There is no fallback that encompasses qcom devices but not all arm devices.
Either way, I'll have to add a new compatible string to the driver.

If something like this is fine for now, I'll format it properly tomorrow:
