Yep, I was just nitpicking, but still I would go with something among
following lines:
8<---
Currently if lv2 page table allocation is requested for a lv1 page table
entry that already has 1MB page mapping, the driver returns -EADDRINUSE.
However this case should not happen, unless there is a bug in the generic
IOMMU allocator, so BUG_ON() is the right error handling here, which is
implemented by this patch.

Well, actually I was confused by subject of this patch.
It looks like this change is actually the main part of it and the only
unrelated changes are using defined macros for page masks and introduction
of clear_page_table() function. Since we both agreed that the latter can
be dropped only the former should be separated from this patch.
Maybe you could use following patch subject:
iommu/exynos: fix handling of possible BUG cases in page table setup code

Yes, he explained this as well. It's fine for me then.

OK, thanks.
