As I mentioned in my other, lengthy reply, passthrough is a very
undesirable configuration on more recent Tegra (Tegra186 and later at
least). Passthrough support (or more generally non-SMMU support) is in a
sad state at the moment because we rarely ever test it. I don't think it
can't be fixed, but it's going to take a bit of effort and is likely to
regress again in the future if we don't keep testing it continuously.
