You mean this?

 			if (!iopte_leaf(pte, lvl, iop->fmt)) {
+				__arm_lpae_clear_pte(&ptep[i], &iop->cfg, 1);
+
 				/* Also flush any partial walks */
 				io_pgtable_tlb_flush_walk(iop, iova + i * size, size,
 							  ARM_LPAE_GRANULE(data));
 				__arm_lpae_free_pgtable(data, lvl + 1, iopte_deref(pte, data));

I would say it should work because
 1) The pte is cleared and cache flushed before the iotlb is cleared
    by the added __arm_lpae_clear_pte()
 2) This is not a 'shared table' since it is fully covered by the
    size being unmapped. The caller must ensure there are no
    inersecting concurrent map/unmaps.
 3) The double zeroing doesn't matter because of #2, no races are
    permitted.
