Does the above mean the following?

int of_iommu_attach(struct device *dev)
{
	int i;
	struct of_phandle_args args;

	of_property_for_each_phandle_with_args(dev->of_node, "iommus",
					       "#iommu-cells", i, &args)
		if (!args->np->dev->driver)
			return -EPROBE_DEFER;
	return 0;
}


"args->np->dev->driver" needs the following patch:
