Shouldn't there be a dedicated driver for the AHB arbitration registers
that the SMMU driver calls into to achieve this? IIRC, the AHB
arbitration registers support much more than the SMMU enable, and if we
ever need to touch those other features, going to the SMMU driver to do
so probably wouldn't make sense.
