We want to use iommu aware DMA mapping APIs for certain 32bit devices
in our SoC without changing device driver of these 32bit devices
(such as PL330). Currently, to this we have to specifiy "iommus" attribute in
32bit device DT node. If we specify  "iommus" attribute in device DT node then
of_iommu_configure() expects "of_xlate" callback and it will fail if this
callback is not available.

If there is a way use DMA mappings APIs for 32bit devices without having
"of_xlate" in SMMU driver then I would prefer that approach. Suggestions??
