ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU is only used by ARM32, you don't need it if you
depends on ARM64

This does not seem right, release is supposed to reprogram the HW to
stop walking any page table.

You should implement a static blocked (or identity?) domain that idles
the hardware and use that as the blocked and release_domain in the
ops.

The logic around vsi_iommu_detach_device() and
vsi_iommu_attach_device() is also not quite right. The attach can
happen while iommu->domain is already set and doesn't deal with
removing the iommu from the old domain's list.

I would probably change vsi_iommu_enable() into vsi_iommu_set_paging()
and then presumably vsi_iommu_disable() is vsi_iommu_set_blocking() ?

vsi_iommu_detach_device() should be deleted and integrated into the
blocked domain and attach error unwind.

The driver should ideally not be calling dev_iommu_priv_set/get here,
and this leads the reference doesn't it? Do what ARM did to locate
the iommu_dev.

I would also add a comment here:
