Hi Dmitry,

(CC'ing Geert and Magnus)

Thank you for the patch.

While functionally correct, this will add some unnecessary overhead when 
iommu_init() is called from IOMMU_OF_DECLARE(). I'm OK with this fix as a 
temporary measure to solve your problem, but we need to address the underlying 
issue properly.

Geert, Magnus, the ipmmu-vmsa driver is a bit of a mess. We should brush it up 
and start using IOMMU_OF_DECLARE() on all platforms (and eventually get rid of 
bus_set_iommu() completely...). Do you have plans to address this ? If not, 
could you please add it to your to-do list ?
