omap_iommu_attach() returns NULL or ERR_PTR in case of error, but
omap_iommu_attach_dev() only checks for IS_ERR. 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.
