Hi Jason,

apologies for the delayed response.

my understand is, this hook is not called for all the devices, eg: pcie dts node
doesn't use [1] "iommus" property instead it uses "iommu-map" property
as a consequence, [1] while loop exits prematurely and iommu_dma_get_resv_regions()
is not called, so there is no IOVA reservation for the pcie device. 

Did i miss something? Please let me know.
