magically know that we're using 64k tables.

Why is this an improvement to the driver?
Put the above in a function 

arm_smmu_get_cd_ste(struct arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg *cdtab, void *ste)

And it makes more sense.
Sorry, but I'm not seeing it :/

We don't need the driver to precompute the "s1_cfg" parameters and
store them in a redundant struct along side the ctx_desc_cfg when we
can compute those same values on the fly with no cost.
But the computation isn't happening -- the STRTAB_STE_0_S1FMT_64K_L2
constant is hardcoded here. 
So it would be hard coded in arm_smmu_get_cd_ste() because that
reflects the current state of CD table code.

If we want to use 4k leaf tables in some cases, how would you add
that? Such a change shouldn't need the low-level strtab creation
code to change.
You would modify arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg to teach it about the different
format. It would gain some (enum?) member that specifies the CD table
layout and geometry. arm_smmu_get_cd_ste() will interpret that member
and generate the correct STE for the specifc cd table.
Sounds a lot like the existing s1fmt field. Can we keep it?
