Subject: [PATCH rc v1 3/4] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ignore STE EATS when computing the update sequence

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@...dia.com>

If a VM want to toggle EATS off the hypervisor will see EATS change to 0
and insert a V=0 breaking update into the STE even though the VM did not
ask for that.

Relax the rules for EATS sequencing, we don't need it to be exact because
the enclosing code will always disable ATS at the PCI device if we are
changing EATS. This ensures there are no ATS transactions that can race
with an EATS change so we don't need to carefully sequence these bits.
