I was seeing this get called via the path driver_probe_device() ->
platform_dma_configure() -> of_dma_configure() -> of_iommu_configure()
-> iommu_probe_device() -> ...

The only cases I was seeing where dev->driver is NULL where a few
places that drivers call of_dma_configure() on their own sub-devices.
But maybe there are some other paths that I did not notice?
