I noticed that you have added OMAP_IOMMU_IVA2 to Kconfig. In this
case I need CONFIG_OMAP_IOMMU_IVA2=y by default on master so
that iommu is open to use for all other drivers by default.

Please explain, how removing CONFIG_MPU_BRIDGE_IOMMU
Or any other the config name in place, breaks tidspbridge?
My patch is removing the 'if defined'.
