Yea, so the arm-smmu-qcom.c file calls directly into the qcom-scm code
via qcom_scm_qsmmu500_wait_safe_toggle()
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/iommu/arm-smmu-qcom.c?h=v5.8-rc1#n44

So if ARM_SMMU=y and QCOM_SCM=m we get:
drivers/iommu/arm-smmu-qcom.o: In function `qcom_smmu500_reset':
arm-smmu-qcom.c:(.text+0xb4): undefined reference to
`qcom_scm_qsmmu500_wait_safe_toggle'

Do you have a suggestion for an alternative approach?

thanks
