Er, I thought you were hitting a false positive on this:

group->domain != group->blocking_domain

ie NULL != NULL

But I suppose the whole expression is checking for group->domain
already.

All your patch does is entirely disable the safetly logic :\

What is isp_attach_iommu() trying to accomplish? It does
arm_iommu_detach_device() and then arm_iommu_attach_device() ?

Why?

Is this trying to force a non-identity translation for ISP?
