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.
