Was there a reason this is not part of the other series?

Part of the point of another file is to not compile it when !CONFIG_IOMMUFD

So you should change the makefile and add some header magic:

#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IOMMUFD)
void *amd_iommufd_hw_info(struct device *dev, u32 *length, u32 *type);
#else
#define amd_iommufd_hw_info NULL
#endif

It would be good to elaborate on the bits like ARM does for
iommu_hw_info_arm_smmuv3 and where some of the bits should come from
in other places in the API.
