Since the MMU-500 specify "Number of SMRs" upto 128 registers, shouldn't
this be changed to be able to support 128 StreamIDs as well?  Although I am
not sure if this would be too big to have on the stack per Rob's comment in
the previous patch set.
Do you actually need 128 now? If not, then we can deal with that when
we get there. There are lots of things in spec's that are not actually
implemented or supported.
Actually, we are using 32 on the AMD system. So, do you think we can set
this to 32 instead?
I think that's ok.

But are we really talking about number of SMRs or number of StreamIDs
per master device here? Ie. are you just having 32 SMRs for an SMMU on
your AMD system or do you have master devices which have 32 StreamIDs?

If it's just number of SMRs we don't need to modify this macro.
I am referring to the case where each mmu-master can have upto 32 streamID.
Rob,

Do you agree on increasing MAX_PHANDLE_ARGS to 32?

Or should this be done when someone (e.g. Suravee) submits a DTS
update with an SMMU node description containing more than 16 stream
IDs for a master device?
