GPUs supporting this functionality are always iGPUs, AFAIK.

Device drivers calling into iommu_attach_device() is seldom a good
idea.  In this case the sound device has some generic hardware
interface so that an existing sound driver can be re-used. Making this
driver call iommu-specific functions for some devices is something hard
to justify.

With sub-groups on the other hand it would be a no-brainer, because the
sound device would be in a separate sub-group. Basically any device in
the same group as the GPU would be in a separate sub-group.
