Despite the spec does not seem to mention this, on some implementations,
when the STE configuration switches from an S1+S2 cfg to an S1 only one,
a C_BAD_STE error would happen if dst[3] (S2TTB) is not reset.

Explicitly reset those two higher 64b fields, to prevent that.

Note that this is not a bug at this moment, since a 2-stage translation
setup is not yet enabled, until the following patches add its support.

Can you provide more details, since it's not clear whether this is a 
hardware erratum workaround or a bodge around the driver itself doing 
something wrong like not doing a proper break-before-make transition of 
the STE. The architecture explicitly states that all the STE.S2* fields 
except S2VMID and potentially S2S are ignored when Stage 2 is bypassed.

Thanks,
Robin.

Took a while to locate the email thread where this was discussed,
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11449895/#23244457

This was observed on a HiSilicon implementation where, if the SMMUv3 is configured with
both Stage 1 and Stage 2 (nested) mode once, then it is not possible to configure it back
for Stage 1 mode for the same device(stream id).

IIRC, the SMMUv3 implementation on these boards expects to set the S2TTB field in STE to zero
when using S1, otherwise it reports C_BAD_STE error. :(

You are right that the specification doesn't demand this and I am not sure there are any other
Hardware that requires this.

Could we please have this with a comment added in the code?

Thanks,
Shameer

Yes, I can add that, and put that link in the commit message too.
