Thanks for reporting this! But I think that the -ENODEV return value
could be of use for the iommu core in the future. Can you please try the
attached patch, which just ignores -ENODEV as a return value from
add_device?

Subject: [PATCH] iommu: Ignore -ENODEV errors from add_device call-back

The -ENODEV error just means that the device is not
translated by an IOMMU. We shouldn't bail out of iommu
driver initialization when that happens, as this is a common
scenario on ARM.

No returning -ENODEV in the drivers would be a bad idea, as
the IOMMU core would have no indication whether a device is
translated or not. This information is not used at the
moment, but will probably be in the future.
