Initialization of all the three SMMU instances is not necessary here.
The driver can work with all the possible number of instances 1, 2 and 3 based on the DT config though it doesn't make much sense to use it with 1 instance.
There is no silent failure here from driver point of view. If there is misconfig in DT, SMMU faults would catch issues.

>You want to use PTR_ERR() here.

PTR_ERR() returns long integer. 
This function returns a pointer. ERR_CAST is the right one to use here.
