Strictly, the regression itself has not been fixed - I guess it does 
just about qualify since the rather-out-of-date 
Documentation/arch/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst does still say that 
iommu=soft "can be used to prevent the usage of an available hardware 
IOMMU", and that seems to be what has stopped happening here.

What it exposed was a latent issue that this particular device has never 
been properly supported for use with an IOMMU, and that's what I guessed 
at a fix for.

Thanks,
Robin.
