Same with ARM SMMU.

For the ARM SMMU binding, each device has a #stream-id-cells property
describing how many IDs it has, and then the SMMU node has a phandle+args
linkage to each of the devices attached to it, describing their stream IDs.
While this does have some limitations (a device can't be plugged into multiple
SMMUs with a different number of IDs), it seems generally sane.
