IIUC the original problem, "a master with 8 streamIDs" means something
like below, where some devices have multiple IDs but some have a
single. A sinle #address-cells cannot afford those 2 masters at once.

       iommu {
               /* the specifier represents the ID of the master */
               #address-cells = <1>;
               #size-cells = <0>;
       };

 	master@a {
 		...
 		iommus = <&smmu 1 2 3>; # 3 IDs
 	};

 	master@b {
 		...
 		iommus = <&smmu 4>;     # 1 ID
 	};

Tegra,SMMU has a similar problem and we have used a fixed size bitmap(64
bit) to afford 64 stream IDs so that a single device can hold multiple
IDs. If we apply the same bitmap to the above exmaple:

       iommu {
               /* the specifier represents the ID of the master */
               #address-cells = <1>;
               #size-cells = <0>;
       };

 	master@a {
 		...
 		iommus = <&smmu (BIT(1) | BIT(2) | BIT(3))>; # IDs 1 2 3
 	};

 	master@b {
 		...
 		iommus = <&smmu BIT(4)>;     # ID 4
 	};

The disadvantage of this is that this limits the max number of streamIDs
to support. If # of streamID is increased later more than 64, this
format cannot cover any more. You have to predict the max # of streamIDs
in advance if steamID is statically assigned.
