These are defined as BIT(x)...

.. and passed to RMI_PSMMU_IRQ_NOTIFY and RMI_PSMMU_EVENT_CONSUME.

RMI_PSMMU_IRQ_NOTIFY takes RmiPsmmuIrqSet type, which is a 4-bit
field that has a range of [BIT(0), BIT(3)]. So this is correct.

However, RMI_PSMMU_EVENT_CONSUME takes RmiPsmmuIrq type, which is
a 2-bit field that has a range of [0x0, 0x3]. So this seems wrong.

These IRQ numbers are raw numbers forwarded by firmware and then
returned by RMI_PSMMU_INFO:

+ if ((psmmu_info->flags & RMI_PSMMU_IRQCFG_MASK) ==
+ RMI_PSMMU_IRQCFG_IRQ_WIRED) {
+ smmu->realm_gerr_irq = psmmu_info->gerror_intr_num;
+ smmu->realm_evtq_irq = psmmu_info->eventq_intr_num;
+ smmu->realm_pri_irq = psmmu_info->priq_intr_num;

Should they be converted to Linux IRQ numbers before forwarded to
devm_request_threaded_irq?

Nit: this series adds a few realm-specific things in the top SMMU
structure. Maybe a "struct arm_realm_psmmu" can make them clearer.
