Thanks. I have added of_platform_device_create.

If the arch_setup_dma_ops always be called before IOMMU probe, What's
the meaning of the TODO comment here?  Does the arch_setup_dma_ops()
will be moved to run later than IOMMU probe? How to do this.

Thanks very much for your confirm.

I have added it following this. As above, the arch_setup_dma_ops always
be called before IOMMU probe, so the attach_device will be called
earlier than probe and the iommu domain will exist already in
add_device.

Meanwhile I attach all the iommu devices into the same domain in the
add_device and free the other unnecessary domains in the attach_device.

Here I wrote may be not clear, so I send the detail code[1]. when you
are free, please also help have a look.

Currently it's based on the condition that arch_setup_dma_ops run before
IOMMU probe, But from your TODO comment, the sequence of
arch_setup_dma_ops may be changed. this series is not a final version?
You also question me "how can you guarantee domain_alloc() happens
before this driver is probed?". So I am a little confused this TODO.
