Sure. Would you want me to try Robin's branch and take out the qualcomm
related stuff to its own implementation? Or, would you like me to respin this
series so that you can take it in to enable SDM845 boards such as, MTP
and dragonboard to have a sane build - debian, etc. so people benefit
out of it.
Qualcomm stuff is lying in qcom-smmu and arm-smmu and may take some
time to stub out the implementation related details.
Let me know your take.

Thanks & regards
Vivek
