Yes, I'm happy to get rid of this. Sadly, I don't think we can remove
anything from 'struct arm_smmu_impl' because most implementations fall
just short of perfect.

Anyway, let me know when I can push the button and I'll queue this in
the arm-smmu tree.  
Seems we're leaving the platform support for now, but I think we never
actually enabled SMMU support. It's not in the dts either in mainline
nor the version I have which should be close to what shipped in
firmware. So as long as Andre agrees, this one is good to apply.  
Andre? Can I queue this one for 5.7, please?
I was wondering how much of a pain it is to keep it in? AFAICS there are other users of the "impl" indirection. If those goes away, I would be happy to let Calxeda go.
But Eric had the magic DT nodes to get the SMMU working, and I used that before, with updating the DT either on flash or dynamically via U-Boot.

So I don't know exactly *how* desperate you are with removing this, or if there are other reasons than "negative diffstat", but if possible I would like to keep it in.

Cheers,
Andre.
