I think currently there are no hardware combination of MPU + SMMU, but
theoretically I think this is a valid combination since SMMU supports the linear
mapping. So would below reword looks good to you:
“Currently the hardware use case of connecting SMMU to MPU system is rarely
seen, so we make CONFIG_ARM_SMMU and CONFIG_ARM_SMMU_V3
dependent on CONFIG_MMU."

I agree, do you think adding below addition diff to this patch makes sense to
you?
If so I guess would also need to mention this in commit message.
```
