In general, though, the SMMU will be able to support a large number of
stream IDs (say a 16-bit space). The restriction we're interested in here is
how many different stream IDs can be emitted by a single master device
coming into the SMMU. *That* is a property of the master, not the SMMU.
In the current arm,smmu binding I have a #stream-id-cells property in each
master. I can then feed that straight into of_parse_phandle_with_args to
enumerate the IDs for that master. The problem with that is we're
artificially restricted by MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS.
