A software policy decision is not, in itself, a good justification for a 
DT property. Is the GPU SMMU fundamentally different in hardware* from 
the other SMMU(s) in any given SoC?

(* where "hardware" may encompass hypervisor shenanigans)

Given that we already have per-SoC compatibles for Qcom SMMUs in 
general, this seems suspiciously vague.
