This mostly looks like you are adding a node in order to create a 
platform device. DT is not the only way to create platform devices and 
shouldn't be used when the device is not really a separate h/w device. 
Plus it seems like it is debatable that you even need a driver.

For iommus, just move it up to the parent (or add to existing prop).
