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?

I think there's some confusion here. The ARM architected SMMU does not
perform any StreamID translation -- it sees an incoming ID and uses that to
lookup a set of translation tables. 

I don't completely agree with this. In case of MMU-500  don't we have the "TBUID + device assigned stream ID" representing the stream ID for matching at the TCU? In case of our platform, we have hot pluggable device objects comprising of devices connected to different TBUs. We have a requirement to use a single stream ID for all the distributed objects. We will have to use the stream ID masking capability to mask out the TBU ID.
