This patch adds a new flags for device drivers. This flag instructs
kernel that the device driver does it own management of IOMMU assisted
IO address space translations, so no default dma-mapping structures
should be initialized.

Could you comment if the approach of using flags in the struct driver
could be accepted? I've converted suppress_bind_attrs entry to flags to
avoid extending the structure, please see patch "[PATCH 05/29] drivers:
convert suppress_bind_attrs parameter into flags".
Best regards
