I can't tell if the original code was meant to be this way, but I'm
afraid your transformation is not correct: The prior construct,
expanding iommu_has_feature(), was

The original code is meant to be this way. There are no need to clean the PTE on update unless you have one IOMMU that is not able to snoop the cache.

iommu_has_feature(...) will return false when the IOMMU is not in use. The iommu_enabled prevent to clean PTE on those setups.
