Robin Murphy pointed out that if the arm-smmu driver probes before the qcom_scm driver, we may call qcom_scm_qsmmu500_wait_safe_toggle() before the __scm is initialized. Now, getting this to happen is a bit contrived, as in my efforts it required enabling asynchronous probing for both drivers, moving the firmware dts node to the end of the dtsi file, as well as forcing a long delay in the qcom_scm_probe function. With those tweaks we ran into the following crash: [ 2.631040] arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Stage-1: 48-bit VA -> 48-bit IPA [ 2.633372] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 ...

This allows the driver to try to probe again later after qcom_scm has finished probing.
