Intel discovers IOMMUs (and optionally ACPI namespace devices) from
ACPI, but there is no ACPI description for PCI devices i.e. the current
logic of device_get_dma_attr() cannot be used on PCI devices.

Probably not. If adding an iommu may change the coherency it would
come from specific IOPTE attributes for a device. The fact whether the
device is mapped by iommu doesn't tell that information.

if going this way probably device_get_dma_attr() should be renamed to
device_fwnode_get_dma_attr() instead to make it clearer?
