The current logic picks one of:
1) is the compatible mentioned in qcom_smmu_impl_of_match[]
2) is the compatible an adreno
3) no quirks needed

The change flips the order of these, so the only way I can see this
change affecting things is if we expected a match on #2, but we got one
on #1.

Which implies that the instance that we want to act according to the
adreno impl was listed in qcom_smmu_impl_of_match[] - which either is
wrong, or there's a single instance that needs both behaviors.

(And I believe Jordan's answer confirms the latter - there's a single
SMMU instance that needs all them quirks at once)
