No, it's not the same as qemu,riscv-iommu. That exists to avoid
riscv,iommu being allowed in isolation and as a "SoC"/integration
specific compatible. The driver matches against riscv,iommu not
qemu,riscv-iommu and has no qemu,riscv-iommu specific behaviours.
It is akin to having spacemit,k3-iommu.

I pretty much already told you what I think, that you need SoC-specific
compatibles for SoCs that integrate this IP and that the you should drop
the spacemit,riscv-iommu compatible. The spacemit,riscv-iommu compatible
doesn't provide any additional value over spacemit,t100-iommu, and has
the downside of maybe being confusing in the future if spacemit
produces a iommu that doesn't have the IOATC behaviour.

Also, I don't see an answer to my question about whether the hardware
will work without the driver changes this series introduces and enables
with the new compatible?

Cheers,
Conor.
