It seems that the "ibm," prefix is not used in .dts files, but it
comes from the PAPR compliant firmware and cannot be changed.

The easiest solution would be to make the function understand both
variants.

At least, I can add the code checking the return value of this
function, which won't change the existing code.

Does anyone know the format of "ibm,dma-window"?
