Makes sense to me, in principle.

There's no useful reason to squawk about this; it's just noise.

Whatever old version of the spec I have here would appear to agree: "In
all cases, aside from the lookup of the STE itself, the choice of Stream
Table format is irrelevant to any other SMMU operation."

I think this now leaves some of the logic in arm_smmu_init_strtab_2lvl()
redundant, so it would probably be worth tidying that up at the same time.
