Hi Magnus,

Thank you for the patch.

This value is only used to validate that all utlb numbers in the bus master DT 
nodes are within the range acceptable by the device. If we bump it up 
unconditionally we could as well remove it completely. A possibly better 
alternative would be to specify the number of utlbs, or even the mask of 
implemented utlbs, in the DT node of the IPMMU.

Why 48 by the way ? The IPMMU instance with the largest utlb number in the R-
Car Gen3 datasheet uses a 0-38 utlb range.
