I will add the comment alongside the #define.

How about this?:
//===============
#define ARM_SHORT_PGD_FULL_ACCESS (3 << 10)
#define ARM_SHORT_PGD_RDONLY BIT(15)

pgdprot |= ARM_SHORT_PGD_FULL_ACCESS;/* or other names? */
if(!(prot & IOMMU_WRITE) && (prot & IOMMU_READ))
pgdprot |= ARM_SHORT_PGD_RDONLY;
//===============
pte is the same.

Sorry, Our HW don't meet the standard spec fully. it don't implement the
AP bits.

There is some difference between the standard spec and MTK HW,
Our hw don't implement some bits, like XN and AP.
So I add a quirk for MTK special.

Thanks. I will add :
tlb->flush_pgtable(pte_va, ARM_SHORT_BYTES_PER_PTE, cookie);
