My bad, that's not even it.

The atomic usage counter is incremented beforehands, without any
locking [1] and the spinlock is acquired only for the sake of
validating that device's runtime PM state remained valid indeed [2],
which would be the case in the fast path of the same driver doing two
mappings in parallel, with the master powered on (and so the SMMU,
through device links; if master was not powered on already, powering
on the SMMU is unavoidable anyway and it would add much more latency
than the spinlock itself).

[2] http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.16-rc1/source/drivers/base/power/runtime.c#L613

In any case, I can't imagine this working with V4L2 or anything else
relying on any memory management more generic than calling IOMMU API
directly from the driver, with the IOMMU device having runtime PM
enabled, but without managing the runtime PM from the IOMMU driver's
callbacks that need access to the hardware. As I mentioned before,
only the IOMMU driver knows when exactly the real hardware access
needs to be done (e.g. Rockchip/Exynos don't need to do that for
map/unmap if the power is down, but some implementations of SMMU with
TLB powered separately might need to do so).
