We're basically doing that already, since the bus_set_iommu call happens in
the probe routine, which won't run unless an SMMUv3 has been found in the
DT. The issue we're trying to avoid is failing the probe of a second SMMUv3
in the system, because the bus will already have the iommu ops set by the
first SMMUv3 that probed.

I suppose we could go and compare bus->iommu_ops with &arm_smmu_ops, but
given that we can't support different IOMMU types on a single bus, I don't
think we gain anything from that.
