This looks rather suspect - coherency should be based on coherency, not on whether an IOMMU group is present. If the device isn't described as coherent in the DT, then any SMMU mappings will end up using attributes that will downgrade traffic to be non-snooping anyway. And if the SMMU is enabled but not translating (e.g. "iommu.passthrough=1") then enabling hardware coherency when the DMA layer hasn't been told about it can potentially lead to nasty subtle problems and data loss.
