Hi Marek,

Thank you for the patch.

If we end up having to create the IOMMU platform devices from within the 
drivers, the introduction of IOMMU_OF_DECLARE starts to feel like a workaround 
to me. I wonder whether it wouldn't then be better to let the driver core 
instantiate the IOMMU platform device from DT as for all other devices, and 
use device notifiers to defer probe of the bus masters until the required 
IOMMU(s) are registered.

Will, what's your opinion on that ?
