except that it won't work always. If you happen to have two AHB bridges,
each using a separate smmu but only one smmu is ready, this will set
SMMU_INIT_DONE on both bridges.

that would look, well, weird. Why don't you just different initcall
leves for this ? Maybe smmu goes into postcore_initcall() and tegra_ahb
goes into postcore_initcall_sync() ?? then you know that SMMU will be
ready by the time you call tegra_ahb probe. Well, unless smmu's probe
fail, but then again, IIUC it won't work anyway...
