[PATCH v7 8/9] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Update comment about STE liveness

From: Michael Shavit
Date: Thu Aug 31 2023 - 13:47:05 EST


Update the comment to reflect the fact that the STE is not always
installed. arm_smmu_domain_finalise_s1 intentionnaly calls
arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc while the STE is not installed.
