Makes sense.

I read the commit log of the original change:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/1589530123-30240-1-git-send-email-yong.wu@xxxxxxxxxxxx

It doesn't seem to allow devices to get attached to different
domains other than the shared mapping->domain, created in the
in the mtk_iommu_probe_device(). So it looks like returning 0
is intentional. Though I am still very confused by this return
value here, I doubt it has ever been used in a VFIO context.

Young, would you please give us some input?

Overall, I feel it's better to play it safe here by dropping
this part. If we later confirm there is a need to fix it, we
will do that in a separate patch anyway.

Thanks
Nic
