I guess it's the IOMMU/DT maintainers who have the last word here, but
shouldn't DT just specify the hardware characteristics and then the
kernel configure the hardware appropriately, possibly based on some
other configuration interface (e.g. command line parameters or sysfs)?

How I'd do this is rather than enforcing those arbitrary decisions
onto the DT bindings, I'd add properties to the master devices (e.g.
CCU) that specify which IOVA range they can operate on. Then, the
exact split of the complete address space would be done at runtime,
based on kernel configuration, command line parameters and possibly
sysfs attributes if things could be reconfigured dynamically.
