Ah, I did figure it out - it wasn't actually a NULL dereference, but an
unmapped address. Turns out __iommu_of_table is in initdata, so any
driver probing after init, connected to an unprobed IOMMU (in this case
disabled in DT), trips over trying to match the now-freed table. I'm
working on the fix - technically the bug's in my patch (#2) anyway ;)
