Yes, for the time being you could just consider the whole thing
OF specific and in my series providing IORT support I will have to
find a place for this code to live, likely to be a new compilation
unit anyway (which means that the raw device_node will become
fwnode_handle types too in the process).

Well, moving this inline to of_iommu.c (as per v4) improves things a
bit, but it looks a bit incosistent to me anyway given that we would
*assume* archdata.iommu exists if CONFIG_OF_IOMMU, which should be
true (is it on eg powerpc ?) but it is still an assumption AFAIK.

An option could be to add the generic iommu_fwspec API but for
the time being decoupling it from struct device and leaving it
to IOMMU drivers to decide where the iommu_fwspec structure pointer
should be stored (ie on ARM systems dev->archdata.iommu).

Understood, you want to keep struct device part of the API so
that, when the iommu_fwspec will be integrated into struct device
we won't have to change the iommu_fwspec API, still, it does not
look right.

Other option would be adding this code to a separate compilation
unit that is compiled only on (ARM || ARM64), not sure what's the
most reasonable option here.
