Why the global variable? Can't this be part of struct tegra_mc? We
already do a very similar thing with the Tegra SMMU integration, why
invent something completely different? Can't we stick to a similar
mechanism?

Given that struct tegra_smmu is opaque at the memory controller level,
we could even go and store the GART related data in the same pointer.

How about the registration code goes into a struct tegra_gart_probe()
function that is called from tegra_mc_probe() right after the SMMU
block:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TEGRA_IOMMU_SMMU)) {
mc->smmu = tegra_smmu_probe(...);
...
}

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TEGRA_IOMMU_GART)) {
mc->smmu = tegra_gart_probe(...);
...
}

?
