This seems like a nice solution, but I would add a comment here that
it is locked by the group mutex, and check if ATS is supported:

	/*
	 * Scratch memory to build the per-domain invalidation list. locked by
	 * the group_mutex. Max possible num_invs: two for ASID/VMIDs and
	 * num_streams for ATC_INVs
	 */
	if (dev_is_pci(master->dev) &&
	    pci_ats_supported(to_pci_dev(master->dev)))
		master->invs = arm_smmu_invs_alloc(2 + master->num_streams);
	else
		master->invs = arm_smmu_invs_alloc(2);

And probably rename it scratch_invs or something to indicate it is
temporary memory.

I'm not sure there is any case where fwspec->num_ids >1 &&
ats_supported, or at least is should be really rare.
