init_fn can be NULL if you convert IOMMU driver to use platform device
infrastructure based initialization and you don't need to do anything
before the driver gets probed, so please keep this check.

I used this approach here:
https://git.linaro.org/people/marek.szyprowski/linux-srpol.git/commitdiff/a30735973573128b14bb4a25cf4debaa0979a655
(this commit is a part of v4.8-clocks-pm branch)

IOMMU_OF_DECLARE() with NULL init_fn is needed to notify IOMMU core that
this IOMMU driver is available in the system and core has to defer
probing of drivers before the IOMMU driver gets initialized from its
controller's platform device.
