I am not sure that is the right fix, as allowing the driver to probe
without MSIs, seems worse than leaking MSI memory.

IMHO, we can just add something like:
    dev_err(smmu->dev, “Can’t allocate devm action, MSIs are never freed! !\n”) ;

Also, we can’t unconditionally fallback to wired irqs if MSI exists,
according to the user manual:
    An implementation must support one of, or optionally both of,
    wired interrupts and MSIs
    ...
    The discovery of support for wired interrupts is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

We can add some logic, to check dt/acpi irqs and to choose to fallback
or not based on that, but, if we get -ENOMEM, (especially early at
probe) something really went wrong, so I am not sure it’s worth
the complexity.
