Otherways to avoid the ABI breakage:
a) Keep iommus max items as 2, which is unchanged.
b) Repeat the same sid for both entries, i.e.,
         iommus = <&apps_smmu 0x1940 0x0000>,
                - <&apps_smmu 0x1947 0x0000>;
	        + <&apps_smmu 0x1940 0x0000>;

and then create the new device as a platform device independent of dt.
RFC for this is posted[1].

However,  Dmitry(in offline forums) termed creating 2 same sid entries
as -- "ridiculous band-aid just to fulfill the "ABI" requirements and
really doesn't make sense". Looks Fair.

OTOH, To exactly implement the idea mentioned here, I have the below
questions, can you please help me with:
1) By keeping the entries in 'iommu=' as is, then add non-pixel sid in
iommu-maps actually creates the overlapping entries.

So, IIUC -- this requires changes to the iommu driver to ignore the
setting up the non-pixel sid(or whatever is mentioned in iommu-maps) and
then use newly created platform device to program the entries mentioned
in iommu-maps. Please CMIW.

If the above understanding correct -- Doesn't it look like we are trying
to fix in the iommu driver for the problem statement related to dt bindings?

2) However, I still think that problem statement of __non-eligibility
for video IP to create the sub devices in the dt__  is still valid and
can be taken separately and actually [1] is targetting this. I believe
this is atleast required for secure contexts. please CMIW.
