[PATCH] iommu/mediatek: Fix NULL pointer deference in mtk_iommu_device_group

Currently, mtk_iommu calls during probe iommu_device_register before
the hw_list from driver data is initialized. Since iommu probing issue
fix, it leads to NULL pointer dereference in mtk_iommu_device_group when
hw_list is accessed with list_first_entry (not null safe).

So, change the call order to ensure iommu_device_register is called
after the driver data are initialized.

Fixes: bcb81ac6ae3c ("iommu: Get DT/ACPI parsing into the proper probe path")

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference that occurs during the
mtk_iommu driver probe and observed at least on several Mediatek Genio boards:

I've tested this patch on Mediatek Genio 510-EVK and 1200-EVK boards
with a kernel based on linux-next (tag: next-20250327).
