Hi Suman, Thank you for the patch.

Thus a NULL return value (in case driver_find_device fails) will cause the kernel to panic when omap_iommu_attach_dev() dereferences the pointer. In such case, omap_iommu_attach() should return ENODEV, not NULL.

The initialization at the beginning is also serving one another exit path (a check for try_module_get), where err is not being set. If the initialization is removed, then the err has to be set explicitly at the other place. Let me know if you still want this changed.
