Alexey,

Your patch "[PATCH v9] PPC: POWERNV: move iommu_add_device earlier" is
not upstream yet. It calls set_iommu_table_base_and_group properly.
However, without calling iommu_register_group, there is no group to add
the device to.

Compare to pnv_pci_ioda_setup_dma_pe which calls iommu_register_group
too. My patch fixes this discrepancy between IODA and IODA2.

Regards.
Cascardo.
