If walking up the tree is useful, then I think we should do that and update
the Documentation to reflect the new behaviour. The only reason that I
didn't code that in of_iommu_configure originally is because I didn't want
to go against the binding spec for the initial version, especially as we
didn't have a reason to look at parent nodes.

The only thing to double-check is that we don't break any existing users
of the binding with this change, but I don't think that we do.
