I'm not really convinced that this is a good idea. This will require
creating fake devices in the system and generally looks really hacky.
Please see my alternative proposal inline.

Could we instead allocate such virtual rk_iommu struct here (dev could
be used as iommu->dev for logging purposes and a fake group could be
allocated too)?

I don't think it's a good idea to set the domain to NULL before
disabling the real IOMMU. It might still trigger an interrupt at this
point and things won't behave correctly. I guess the original line
could be left as is and simply same assignment added under the if
below.
