I think you are right. If we need add the Fixes tag, it should fix this
one: 645b87c190c9 ("iommu/mediatek: Fix 2 HW sharing pgtable issue").

Before I thought the code flow was changed a lot. I added the bank
structure and removed the mtk_iommu.h, I'm a bit afraid that this fix
patch can not be applied clean, then it will introduce confuse when
applying to the previous version for the maintainers.

Meanwhile, After mt8195, mt8186/mt6795/m8365/6795 were merged in
upstream. All of them don't have this sharing case, thus I thought this
fix it is not so necessary.

What's your opinion? and should I send this one separately if I add the
fixes tag?
