Right. Confirmed the same with the hw team. On Qcom SoCs ITS mapping is
relatively similar to SMMU stream IDs. So on SM8450 and other mobile targets
making use of SMMUv2, only 128 SIDs are available, hence only 128 MSI
identifiers. But on SC8280XP and other similar ones, SMMUv3 is used, so there
are 65536 SIDs available and also the MSI identifiers. So yes, this SoC indeed
supports linear mapping of MSI identifiers and so the mask is not required.
