It is right, my point and question is: we are probing a device and we
have to know whether it is worth deferring its IOMMU DMA setup. On DT,
through of_match_node(&__iommu_of_table, iommu_device_node) we check at
once that:

1 - A device for the IOMMU exists

AND

2 - A driver for the IOMMU is compiled in the kernel

Is this correct ? As you said (1) is not a concern on ACPI IORT (because
we create the IOMMU device before _any_ other device so either the IOMMU
device is there or it will never be by the time master devices are
probed), but for (2) I need to slightly change how the IORT linker entry
work to make sure we can detect a driver is actually compiled in the
kernel, it is easy, I was just asking if my understanding was correct
and I think that was what Sricharan was referring to in his query.

I will put together a patch, again, it is a simple tweak.

Thanks !
Lorenzo
