Ok. I have also updated the Seattle firmware to remove the smmu nodes and the associated iommus/iommu-map properties entirely when disabling SMMU support in the firmware, which should address Will's concern regarding unspecified behavior of a disabled SMMU.
IOW, this patch can be disregarded. Thanks.
