We don't have a use case of customizing the paging domains.
And our selftest isn't covering this path. Nor the case is
supported by the uAPI:

458- * A kernel-managed HWPT will be created with the mappings from the given
459- * IOAS via the @pt_id. The @data_type for this allocation must be set to
460: * IOMMU_HWPT_DATA_NONE. The HWPT can be allocated as a parent HWPT for a
461- * nesting configuration by passing IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC_NEST_PARENT via @flags.
462- *


Also, if we do passing in the data, we'd need to...

280-static struct iommu_domain *
281-mock_domain_alloc_user(struct device *dev, u32 flags,
282-		       struct iommu_domain *parent,
283:		       const struct iommu_user_data *user_data)
284-{
285-	struct mock_iommu_domain *mock_parent;
286-	struct iommu_hwpt_selftest user_cfg;
287-	int rc;
288-
289:	if (!user_data) {	/* must be mock_domain */

...change this to if (!parent)...

290-		struct mock_dev *mdev = container_of(dev, struct mock_dev, dev);
291-		bool has_dirty_flag = flags & IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC_DIRTY_TRACKING;
292-		bool no_dirty_ops = mdev->flags & MOCK_FLAGS_DEVICE_NO_DIRTY;
293-
294-		if (parent)
295-			return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

...and drop this.

296-		if (has_dirty_flag && no_dirty_ops)
297-			return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP);
298-		return __mock_domain_alloc_paging(IOMMU_DOMAIN_UNMANAGED,
299-						  has_dirty_flag);
300-	}
301-
302-	/* must be mock_domain_nested */
303:	if (user_data->type != IOMMU_HWPT_DATA_SELFTEST)
304-		return ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP);
