Right, but I think the problem is that we go and write zero to
ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH and ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH at what *would be* their
non-secure aliases for the secure side (i.e. + 0x400).

If would be better to check for the ARM_SMMU_OPT_SECURE_CFG_ACCESS feature
and, if it's set then zero ARM_SMMU_GR0_STLBIALL at the correct address
otherwise do the ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLH and ARM_SMMU_GR0_TLBIALLNSNH.
