It could also be worth considering hard-coding the reserved address in 
the SMMUv3 driver for this model. This would not involve (more) reliance 
on CSRT or IORT driver. However, note that hip07 has multiple SMMUs, and 
we only need to enable the quirk for the SMMU in front the PCIe host 
controller.

BTW, FYI, hi161x is alias for hip07/06
