I tend to disagree...

As is obvious from the need for three bullets with extensive explanation
above, the IPMMU hierarchies for the various SoCs do differ a lot. Hence
this is not a case of mindless copying/adjusting the device node for the
(same and identical) device found on multiple SoC variants.
There's also a high probability of future fixes, cfr. "Until we know better ..."
and "the public documentation is still unclear".
Given the above, I think it's better to keep them as 3 separate commits.
Thanks!
