Funny, compiling this driver as a module revealed an issue in the driver 
initialization sequence, here is a fix that need to be applied before 
this patchset:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221104115511.28256-1-m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx/

Besides that, the driver nukes with NULL pointer dereference in 
exynos_iommu_of_xlate() when compiled as a module on ARM 64bit 
Exynos5433 based TM2e board. ARM 32bit based board works fine. I'm 
checking this issue now.
