This is the wrong check, you want the "if (smmu_domain->smmu != smmu)" condition further down. If this one fails it's effectively because the device doesn't have an IOMMU at all, and similar to patch #3 it will be removed once the core code takes over properly (I even have both those patches written now!)
Thanks, Robin.
