I have no idea what PPCS is. The patch description for 21/22 implies
much more than SDMMC is "in PPCS"...

Why hard-code this mapping? Can't devices be assigned to ASIDs based on
a DT property? I assume there's nothing in the SMMU HW that requires
specific ASIDs to be used?

I don't see anything in this series which implements the "open for
drivers" part of the description for ASID 2/3/...

Perhaps not so relevant here since this patch only uses SYSTEM_DEFAULT
as the ASID number, but don't you need to validate that smmu->num_as is
large enough to support all values in the enum definition above?

Since this patch doesn't actually use anything other than
SYSTEM_DEFAULT, I wonder if this patch shouldn't be squashed into patch
21/22, where multiple ASIDs are actually used?
