I changed the paragraph to:

A stall event in the EVTQ and a PRI request in the PRIQ both surface to the
IOPF infrastructure with fault.type == IOMMU_FAULT_PAGE_REQ. Yet, both two
models are alternatives: a stalling master resolves a fault synchronously,
holding the transaction until a CMDQ_OP_RESUME, so it has no reason to also
issue a page request. A later change refuses PRI on a stall_enabled master,
so the two will never co-occur. arm_smmu_page_response() can therefore key
on the master state: CMDQ_OP_RESUME for stall_enabled, CMDQ_OP_PRI_RESP for
pri_enabled, mapping IOMMU_PAGE_RESP_* to the PRI response codes.

Your review is helpful!

I added a prm and cleaned two:
