Dead code - by this point tegra_smmu_probe_device() has already run (and 
we've literally reached this call via dev_iommu_ops(dev)) so the device 
is definitely valid.

Similarly, dev->iommu_group is already assigned with whatever valid 
group tegra_smmu_device_group() returned, so you could perhaps just do a 
single iteration over smmu->groups for the lookup.

Thanks,
Robin.
