Oh.... This is a much larger problem then

The VF should not fail to enable ATS, that is a meaningful bug, I'm
not sure why are are just discovering this?

It looks like the PF unconditionally calls pci_prepare_ats() during
arm_smmu_probe_device(), so how does this happen:

??

So, I think the right error handling for a case that shouldn't happen is
to fail the attachment not to try to continue it broken?
