There was a few pieces that landed in the common code which allowed us
to deal with the quirks of the Qualcomm platform (turned out that just
reading back the settings wasn't the only piece necessary).

The "generic" solution is essentially the second half of
qcom_smmu_cfg_probe(), which ensures that as the SMMU is reset it will
do so with bypass mappings for all stream mappings the boot loader left
us.

I believe that Qualcomm has adopted the upstream solution in their
downstream kernel.
