Hey Bibek, quick question.. is ACTLR preserved across a suspend/resume
cycle?  Or does it need to be reprogrammed on resume?  And same
question for these two PRR related regs:

  /* Global SMMU register offsets */
  #define KGSL_IOMMU_PRR_CFG_LADDR        0x6008
  #define KGSL_IOMMU_PRR_CFG_UADDR        0x600c

(ie. high/low 32b of the PRR page)

I was starting to type up a patch to add PRR configuration, but
depending on whether it interacts with suspend/resume, it might be
better form arm-smmu-qcom.c to just always enable and configure PRR
(including allocating a page to have an address to program into
PRR_CFG_LADDR/UADDR), and instead add an interface to return the PRR
page?  I think there is no harm in unconditionally configuring PRR for
gpu smmu.

BR,
-R
