Hi Nicolin,

The following is a unified drain_queue helper, that also attempts to
address Sashiko's concerns. This applies on top of my runtime PM v9
series [1], please see if it works for you:

Subject: [PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add a unified arm_smmu_drain_queue() helper

Introduce a unified arm_smmu_drain_queue() helper to replace queue
specific polling loops. The helper handles both snapshot-based cohort
draining (for IOPF) and full queue draining (required for Runtime PM).

The Runtime PM explicitly gates the CMDQ (via CMDQ_PROD_STOP_FLAG) prior
to draining, this allows a single, snapshot-based target to natively
handle all drain scenarios.
