The warning is there for a reason - at this point, we *expected* the
device to be using an IOMMU for DMA, so a failure is significant. Rather
than masking genuine failures in other cases because your case
deliberately breaks that expectation, simply change the expectation -
i.e. rather than letting of_xlate() succeed then failing add_device()
later, reject the of_xlate() call up-front such that the DMA layer never
gets told about the IOMMU in the first place.

Robin.
