I was thinking this was also protecting against buggy FW since
stall_enable can be set by:
    device_property_read_bool(dev, "dma-can-stall"))

Alternatively we could directly prevent the clash even earlier:

@@ -3292,8 +3292,13 @@ static struct iommu_device *arm_smmu_probe_device(struct device *dev)
 
        if ((smmu->features & ARM_SMMU_FEAT_STALLS &&
             device_property_read_bool(dev, "dma-can-stall")) ||
-           smmu->features & ARM_SMMU_FEAT_STALL_FORCE)
-               master->stall_enabled = true;
+           smmu->features & ARM_SMMU_FEAT_STALL_FORCE) {
+               if (!dev_is_pci(dev))
+                       master->stall_enabled = true;
+               else
+                       dev_err(dev, FW_BUG
+                               "A SMMUv3 is required to run in stall mode for a PCI device\n");
+           }
 
        if (dev_is_pci(dev)) {

Though I have no idea how the GPU driver that wants to use this
works - it doesn't seem to be intree :\
