Thus, when a driver request the iommu by calling iommu_domain_alloc(), it will succeed (but iommu_attach_device() will fail if I remember). Leaving a driver with a dangling reference to a phantom iommu is not good IMHO. It will lead to strange behaviours one day or another. As for the multiple iommu case, as I do not think it is currently possible, as bus_type (in this case &platform_bus_type) has only one struct iommu_ops. bus_set_iommu() will return EBUSY on the second call. Am I missing something? > Also, the main change in this patch is moving the bus_set_iommu from > omap_iommu_init to omap_iommu_probe, so you should probably leave out > moving the function.

Thus I moved omap_iommu_probe() after the declaration of omap_iommu_ops. But I can probably use a forward declaration for omap_iommu_ops, this would be better. Indeed, we can also convert to devm_.
