Nits:
 - WARN usually indicates a kernel bug already.
 - pci_prepare_ats() covers pci_ats_supported().

Again, pci_prepare_ats() covers pci_ats_supported(). So, the check
is redundant. Instead, it should check arm_smmu_ats_supported().

By the way, this would conflict into my series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/18bb6f421b3be891caa8f1fb50f3a4d56b52d5be.1779392420.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/

It would be nicer to have an arm_smmu_master_prepare_ats() so that
both series would have a common ground; mine would be just adding
some additional lines if your series goes in first.

Thanks
Nicolin
