I'm still trying to find a different way to solve this. Unfortunately 
I'm not able to reproduce this on my mt8173-evb...

...but: iommu_present checkes if the bus->iommu_ops is set. If we set 
these option in the iommu after all components got initialized, we 
should be fine. Or did I miss something?

Would you mind trying the patch below (against v4.9-rc1)?
If you know of any way to reproduce this issue, I would be happy to know.

I'm adding Joerg, the iommu maintainer, maybe he has an idea.

Thanks a lot,
Matthias
