Thanks ! Strictly speaking, with Robin's new series:

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2016-August/018230.html


(and corresponding v5 of this one that I have rebased on top of it) we
do not need this patch any longer and it is not really that generic
keeping in mind that it can't be used for DT matching (because in DT
dev->fwnode is dangling); I will see if I keep this patch according
to dependencies.

Side note: I have a problem with [1], since that code is there to
implement DT phandles in ACPI IIUC and we must really prevent that :)

Thanks !
Lorenzo
