Good explanation. This would be helpful when I read ARM SMMU TRM;)

I think that now I got the "mmu-masters".
- mmu-masters : A list of phandles to device nodes representing bus
masters for which the SMMU can provide a translation
and their corresponding StreamIDs (see example below).
Each device node linked from this list must have a
"#stream-id-cells" property, indicating the number of
StreamIDs associated with it.
If I apply this to Tegra, this would be:
host1x {
#swgroup-id-cells = <1>;
gr3d {
#swgroup-id-cells = <2>;
};
};
smmu: iommu {
compatible = "nvidia,tegra114-smmu", "nvidia,tegra30-smmu";
reg = <0x70019010 0x02c>,
<0x700191f0 0x010>,
<0x70019228 0x074>;
.......
mmu-masters = <&host1x TEGRA_SWGROUP_HC>,
<&mpe TEGRA_SWGROUP_MPE>,
..........
<&gr3d TEGRA_SWGROUP_NV TEGRA_SWGROUP_NV2>;
};
>From consistency POV, this may look better. Also if "stream-id-cells",
"mmu-masters" is defined as IOMMU standard tag, it would be more
easier. Otherwise, I may need to stick to "swgroup-id-cells".

In Tegra PCIe clients belong to one swgroup statically.
