Hi Marek,

Thanks for looking again at this -- I'll take at look at your exynos series
when I'm back in the UK next week.

It should probably return 0 on success, < 0 otherwise. I'll fix
of_iommu_configure to check for < 0 and only exit the loop then. The idea is
that we don't swizzle the DMA ops for a device to IOMMU ops if of_xlate
failed for any of its IDs.
