We can rely on the tlbinv done by CP_SMMU_TABLE_UPDATE in this case.

Asking because it is a *security issue* if we get this wrong:
1. Is there any measure benefit with this patch? I believe tlb
invalidation doesn't contribute much to the unmap latency.
It turned out to not make a huge difference.. although I expect the
part about skipping the inv when runtime suspended is still useful
from a power standpoint (but don't have a great setup to measure that)
Agree. Perhaps use the recently added 'suspended' flag instead of pm_runtime_get_if_in_use().

BR,

2. We at least should insert a full memory barrier before reading the
ttbr0 register to ensure that everything we did prior to that is visible
to smmu. But then I guess the cost of the full barrier would be similar
to the tlb invalidation.

Because it could lead to security issues or other very hard to debug
issues, I would prefer this optimization only if there is a significant
measurable gain.
