That file has a weird "Notes:" section describing the application of
"iommus" to a PCI host bridge. We should probably rip that out, because
it seems to be going directly against the approach we've ended up taking.

In fact, replacing that with a cross reference to

  devicetree/bindings/pci/pci-iommu.txt

would make much more sense to me.
