Sounds ok to me, but I'd prefer using a macro instead of a __weak symbol:

#ifndef swiotlb_phys_to_dma
static inline dma_addr_t swiotlb_phys_to_dma(struct device *dev, phys_addr_t paddr)
{
         return paddr;
}
#endif

and then let the architectures that override it provide a self-referencing
macro:

#define swiotlb_phys_to_dma swiotlb_phys_to_dma

Also note swiotlb instead of swio, to match the existing naming.
