Thanks for pointing that out - thankfully, I've confirmed that the SMMUs 
on my Juno don't have dev->pm_domain set when booting with ACPI, and 
double-checking the ACPI code I think we're OK here. Since the SMMUs are 
only described in the static IORT table and not in the ACPI namespace, 
they won't have the ACPI companion device that acpi_dev_pm_attach() 
looks for, and thus should always be ignored. Lorenzo, do I have that right?

Robin.
