Hi Marek,

I don't quite understand why probe_device() is called too early, as it
is called at the same time add_device() was called before. But anyway,
I have seen a similar problem on OMAP. If the SYSMMU for a master is not
probed yet when probe_device() is called, it can just return -ENODEV and
in your driver you just call but_iommu_probe() when a new SYSMMU got
initialized to re-probe uninitialized masters on the bus. This patch-set
contains a change to export bus_iommu_probe() for exactly that reason.

What do you think?
