While I've bisected this to commit e8e683ae9a736407 ("iommu/of: Fix
probe-deferral"), and reverting that commit on post-v5.0-rc4 kernels
does fix the problem, this turned out to be a red herring.

On arm64, arch_teardown_dma_ops() resets dev->dma_ops to NULL.
Hence if a driver has used a managed DMA allocation API, the allocated
DMA memory will be freed using the direct DMA ops, while it may have
been allocated using a custom DMA ops (iommu_dma_ops in this case).

Fix this by reversing the order of the calls to devres_release_all() and
arch_teardown_dma_ops().

Question:
Is this safe on arm32, which calls arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops() instead
of resetting dev->dma_ops?

Should be - the principle is the same, and even if it did break that would only be indicative of a separate bug being hidden by this one. This fix looks entirely valid and correct to me:

Memory is incorrectly freed using the direct ops, as dma_map_ops = NULL.
Oops...

After reversing the order of the calls to arch_teardown_dma_ops() and
devres_release_all(), dma_map_ops is still valid, and the DMA memory is
now released using __iommu_free_attrs():
