It's already the case. The function arm_smmu_dt_init is called on every
SMMU. So the last added SMMU is the one we are currently added.

iommu_{set,clear}_feature is a generic code and per-domain.

The main issue is if we add device protected by SMMU which doesn't have
coherent walk, we have to browse the page table and clean the cache.

So we have to know at boot time that one of the SMMU doesn't have
coherent walk.
