How exactly do they fail to probe? Per d7b0558230e4, if there are no ops
registered then they should merely defer until we reach the point of
giving up and ignoring the IOMMU. Is it just that you have no other
late-probing drivers or post-init module loads to kick the deferred
queue after that point? I did try to find a way to explicitly kick it
from a suitably late initcall, but there didn't seem to be any obvious
public interface - anyone have any suggestions?

I think that's more of a general problem with the probe deferral
mechanism itself (I've seen the same thing happen with some of the
CoreSight stuff on Juno due to the number of inter-component
dependencies) rather than any specific fault of this series.

Robin.
