IMHO this is not good since IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY is not a bitfield but an enum 
See include/linux/iommu.h 
enum iommu_cap {
	IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY,	/* IOMMU can enforce cache coherent DMA
					   transactions */
	IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP,		/* IOMMU supports interrupt isolation */
	IOMMU_CAP_NOEXEC,		/* IOMMU_NOEXEC flag */
};
One possible fix would to redefine the enum with values with bitfiled values
enum iommu_cap {
	IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY = 1, /* IOMMU can enforce cache coherent DMA
					   transactions */
	IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP = 2,	/* IOMMU supports interrupt isolation */
	IOMMU_CAP_NOEXEC = 4,		/* IOMMU_NOEXEC flag */
};

Regards
Rémy
