But you didn't backport the MMU-600 change here, so why does the diff
here show you did?

And what about commit 0bfbfc526c70 ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Document
nesting-related errata") after this?

Can you send a properly backported series for this and the needed fixes
after this, for all relevant kernels you wish to have the errata applied
to?  This single backport isn't enough, sorry.

I've dropped all the patches you submitted for stable backports now.

thanks,
