+bool isARIATableCell(Node* node)

Make it a static function like isSimpleImage.

--- a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/AXObjectCache.h
+++ a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/AXObjectCache.h

+    void selectedStateChanged(Node*);

Rename to onSelectedStateChange.

--- a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/ios/AXObjectCacheIOS.mm
+++ a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/ios/AXObjectCacheIOS.mm

-    if (notificationName.isNull())
+    if (notificationName.isNull() || (notificationName == SelectedCellsChangedNotificationName && !isARIATableCell(object->node())))
         return;

Why do we want to suppress this notification here? If we don't want an iOS client to react to it, we should ignore it closer to the client, maybe in the system bundle.

--- a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/mac/AXObjectCacheMac.mm
+++ a/Source/WebCore/accessibility/mac/AXObjectCacheMac.mm

     case AXSelectedStateChanged:
-        macNotification = NSAccessibilitySelectedCellsChangedNotification;
-        break;
+        if (isARIATableCell(object->node())) {
+            macNotification = NSAccessibilitySelectedCellsChangedNotification;
+            break;
+        }
+        return;

If we want to distinguish SelectedState from SelectedCells for table cells, we should add a new AXSelectedCellsChanged, so that we shouldn't need to call isARIATableCell(object->node()) here.
