The smmu-v3 binding currently doesn't differentiate the SoCs it's
implemented on. This is a poor design choice that may bite in the future,
should any quirks surface.

Add a compatible for the instance found on Qualcomm SC8280XP.

This could be enum, because likely it will grow in the future, but there
is no need to resend for this alone.

That doesn't seem entirely fair to say - the vast majority of bindings 
don't have separate compatibles for every known integration of the same 
implementation in different SoCs. And in this case we don't have 
per-implementation compatibles for quirks and errata because the 
implementation is architecturally discoverable from the SMMU_IIDR register.

We have the whole mess for QCom SMMUv2 because the effective 
*implementation* is a mix of hardware and hypervisor, whose behaviour 
does seem to vary on almost a per-SoC basis. I'm not at all keen to 
start repeating that here without very good reason, and that of 
"documenting" a device which we typically expect to not even be 
accessible isn't really convincing me...

Thanks,
Robin.

From my POV as an arch dts maintainer, this often ends up being the only
way to retroactively add some conditional action into the code - the kernel
is supposed to be backwards compatible with older device trees.

And so far it's been almost by luck that all of the smmuv3 implementations
have been a straight copy-and-paste of the reference design (or close enough),
I don't believe this will be for much longer.
