Given that devicetree-discuss has been notably absent from discussion
surrounding the proposed binding, I think that including that patch in
linux-samsung.git and dropping it from this series is rather premature.

I have comments on the binding, so I'll dig up the version you posted in v5
and add devicetree-discuss to CC.

This should probably be Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/ no?
