Commit c54451a "iommu/arm-smmu: Fix the error path in arm_smmu_add_device"
removed fwspec assignment in legacy_binding path as redundant which is
wrong. It needs to be updated after fwspec initialisation in
arm_smmu_register_legacy_master() as it is dereferenced later. Without
this there is a NULL-pointer dereference panic during boot on some hosts.
