Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay. I'll see if I can resend this for v5.5, although I
can't do much testing at the moment.

Ok maybe I should add that this field will be used for PCI PASID as
well.

It would be zero, as firmware only specifies a value for platform
devices. For a PCI device, patch 8/8 fills master->ssid_bits from the
PCIe PASID capability.

This refers to the size of the hardware context descriptor, not struct
arm_smmu_ctx_desc. Next version moves this to a define and makes it
clearer.

Thanks,
