You need to make the Kconfig option for the SMMU either depend on or
select the TEGRA_AHB option. If you don't, then if someone disables the
AHB driver, the SMMU driver may still build, yet fail to link since the
AHB API it calls doesn't exist.

You can just "return tegra_ahb_..." here.

Hmm, "ahb" should probably be "nvidia,ahb".

I see that neither this patch nor the next patch include binding
documentation that describe this property. Can you please add documentation.
