I'm not sure that answers the question I asked.

I mean that the driver expects that two AS always exist;
SYSTEM_PROTECTED and SYSTEM_DEFAULT. However, the set of extant ASs is
IIRC defined by the DT content. What if the DT doesn't define two ASs?
Shouldn't there at least be an error-check for this case, so the driver
doesn't just blindly continue and access smmu_handle->map[1] when the
map[] array only has 1 entry?
