Thanks.

This code will be cleaned up once the non-DT references/users for OMAP3
IOMMUs go away. I will do this in the next merge window once Laurent's
OMAP3ISP legacy device creation cleanup series gets into mainline [1].

We used to be module before, and the built-in is coming from the IOMMU
framework. The init function in the OMAP IOMMU driver already handles
the multi_v7_defconfig scenario, so no issues there.

Yeah, any need for this file after the non-DT device creation removal
would arises from the PRCM/reset dependencies against API present in
mach-omap2 layer only.
