What about to factor out that assignment and add a comment, something like this:

/* clear syncpoint-channel assignments on Tegra186+ */
for (i = 0; i < host->info->nb_pts; i++)
	host1x_hw_syncpt_assign_channel(host, &syncpt[i], NULL);

And maybe even add an inline function for clarity, like:

static inline void host1x_hw_syncpt_deassign_channel(struct host1x *host,
						     struct host1x_syncpt *sp)
{
	return host->syncpt_op->assign_channel(sp, NULL);
}
