It's worth noting that this driver fully relies on status of other
devices in the power domain the IOMMU is in and does not enforce the
status on its own. So in general, as far as my understanding of PM
runtime subsystem, the status of the IOMMU device will be always
suspended, because nobody will call pm_runtime_get() on it (except the
get and put pair in probe). So is_powered is here to track status of
the domain, not the device. Feel free to suggest a better way, though.

Best regards,
