The device driver should also call iommu_dev_enable_feature() before using
the AUX feature. I see that you implement them as NOPs and in this case
the GPU is tightly coupled with the SMMU so interoperability between
different IOMMU and device drivers doesn't matter much, but I think it's
still a good idea to follow the same patterns in all drivers to make
future work on the core IOMMU easier.

To be complete this also needs dev_feat_enabled() and aux_detach_dev() ops
