Currently if iommu-cells = 2 then SMMU treats the 2 cells as stream-id + stream-id mask. While DT binding is silent on how 2 cells, which means that actually stream-id could be more than 32bit, but SMMU uses it in the way it wants to, which is not correct. If we be more explicit on defining the meaning of two cells than it will avoid confusion and implementation will match the DT binding definition.
