We always want at least 2 of the 3 instances >>programmed and so we should only match 'nvidia,tegra194-smmu'. In fact, I think that we also need to update the arm_smmu_of_match table to add 'nvidia,tegra194-smmu' with the data set to &arm_mmu500.

>I think you would be better off with nvidia,smmu-500 as smmu-v2 appears to be something different. I see others have a smmu-v2 but I am not sure if that is legacy. We have an smmu-500 and so that would seem more appropriate.

I tried to use the binding synonymous to other vendors. 
V2 is the architecture version.  MMU-500 is the actual implementation from ARM based on V2 arch.  As we just use the MMU-500 IP as it is, It can be named as nvidia,smmu-500 or similar as well.
Others probably having their own implementation based on V2 arch.
