+Multiple-master IOMMU:

+               /* the specifier represents the ID of the master */
+               #iommu-cells = <1>;
+       };
+
+       master at 1 {
+               /* device has master ID 42 in the IOMMU */
+               iommus = <&{/iommu} 42>;
+       };
+
+       master at 2 {
+               /* device has master IDs 23 and 24 in the IOMMU */
+               iommus = <&{/iommu} 23>, <&{/iommu} 24>;
+       };

I think that this "master ID" will be parsed in IOMMU driver. For example,
ARM,SMMU expects "streamID" as "master ID", right?

If a SoC has a feature to configure to assign streamID to devices at runtime,
"streamID" is not equal to "master ID".

  iommus = <&{/smmu} "soc specific master ID">;

"soc master ID" needs to be translated into "streamID" by SoC SW. It seems
that ARM,SMMU kernel driver doesn't expect this kind of ID translation. If
ARM,SMMU kernel driver is used as is, "soc master ID"
would be incompatible? ARM,SMMU needs such translation before parsing. Is
this my understanding right?

If so I think that this master ID configuration/translation may be quite
reasonable requirment for SoC using ARM,SMMU.

Can we consider this ID translation within ARM,SMMU compatibility?

IOW, is it possible to implement some SoC specific hook for ID
translation/configuration in ARM,SMMU kernel driver?

Can the id translation be done using a SMR mask?

No, "SoC master ID" is completely independenf of SMR.

Also, for dynamic stream ID allocation we would need to represent the
specific master register (to store the stream ID) in the device tree.

I assmue that the above means that iMX has such configuration register
to map steramID and a device dynamically.
