Well, I'd say it really goes the other way around - since the very first
thing bus_set_iommu() does is check if ops are present, and return if
so, and the v2 driver already doesn't care about that return value,
there's not really any need for it to duplicate the check either. I
didn't change it at the time to avoid cluttering the gigantic rework any
further, but I could spin a cleanup patch if you like.

Thanks!
