Maybe just split it out then, so that the ARM_SMMU entry doesn't have this,
as that driver _really_ doesn't care about SoC details like this. In other
words, add a new entry along the lines of:

config ARM_SMMU_QCOM_IMPL
default y
#if QCOM_SCM=m this can't be =y
depends on ARM_SMMU & (QCOM_SCM || !QCOM_SCM)

and then have arm-smmu.h provide a static inline qcom_smmu_impl_init()
which returns -ENODEV if CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_QCOM_IMPL=n and hack the Makefile
so that we don't bother to compile arm-smmu-qcom.o in that case.

Would that work?
