Thanks for your suggestion very much, and there are several actions
need to check.

1: The iommu register like this:
ret = bus_set_iommu(&platform_bus_type,
&mtk_iommu_ops); 
It expect the consumer is a standard platform device.
otherwise it
could not enter to the iommu of_xlate.)

So if putting the iommus property in the child node, all the child
device need to registered as platform device.

2: For the interrupt in each child node, but the logical processing in
parent part. Child and parent need to send message for each other. In
order to control clk/power/irq for multi instance, need send message to
child to separate different hardware; child also need send message to
parent when get interrupt.

3: About Chen-Yu's mail, do you have any advice?

Do you have any suggestion about these two scenarios?
I'm very happy to get your reply.

Thanks
