Commit d0511b5496c0 ("firmware: QCOM_SCM: Allow qcom_scm driver to be
loadable as a permenent module") causes the ARM SMMU driver to be built
as a loadable module when using the Aarch64 default configuration. This
in turn causes problems because if the loadable module is not shipped
in an initial ramdisk, then the deferred probe timeout mechanism will
cause all SMMU masters to probe without SMMU support and fall back to
just plain DMA ops (not IOMMU-backed).

Once the system has mounted the rootfs, the ARM SMMU driver will then
be loaded, but since the ARM SMMU driver faults by default, this causes
a slew of SMMU faults for the SMMU masters that have already been set
up with plain DMA ops and cause these devices to malfunction.

Revert that commit to unbreak things while we look for an alternative
solution.

John previously agreed to this here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CALAqxLVDm923WRSB+DVxFacmEtmEPS7Qeq+rW_jbCDMNMWw9PQ@mail.gmail.com

so might be worth putting in a Link: tag when it gets applied.

FWIW I had the same issues on the Qualcomm platform and merged a patch
that turns QCOM_SCM=y in arm64 defconfig earlier today. So this should
hide the problem in next linux-next. (And it really should be =y in
defconfig regardless of this revert or not).

I don't fancy the fact that we have a situation where if you're
unlucky to have probe deferrals lingering past late initcall things
will start to just break and this from a growing number of resource
types. But I also don't see any alternatives to fixing the kernel to
handle this gracefully.
