That's exactly what I'm thinking about.
Per-PASID could be better expanded, but now all maybe is enough.

I made this judgment before dump:

		if (cd && (le64_to_cpu(cd->data[0]) & CTXDESC_CD_0_V)) {
			seq_printf(seq, "\n--- SSID %u ---\n", ssid);
			smmu_debug_dump_cd(seq, dev, ssid);
		}

So, the CDs dumped here are valid.
You remind me that "Valid" print can be omitted here :-)
