Hi Krzysztof,

I want to understand a bit more about the statement -- "List of entries
in iommu must have strict order."

per my understanding:
iommus = <&apps_smmu sid1 mask1>, <&apps_smmu sid2 mask2>;

     and

iommus = <&apps_smmu sid2 mask2>, <&apps_smmu sid1 mask1>;

The end result is same with no breakage as they still end up in using
the same translation unit, i.e., ordering doesn't matter.

May be you imply something else(may be ABI[1]) here about the order,
which I am unable to catch...
