What dead code? Is the deal here that we keep the field, but still
infer the value to write from (cd_table->l1_desc == null) in
arm_smmu_write_strtab_ent??

Keep the field and write it directly when populating the ste (i.e. don't
infer anything), but the field moves into 'struct arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg'.

Yes - the 'dead code' is that we introduce storage for a field that is
always a known constant (STRTAB_STE_0_S1FMT_64K_L2).

I'm not sure we're on the same page here. s1fmt could contain either
`STRTAB_STE_0_S1FMT_64K_L2` or `STRTAB_STE_0_S1FMT_LINEAR`, and this
value will be directly copied in arm_smmu_write_strtab_ent.
