I will add the following description for more information.

Although it fixes iommu assignment issue, it also break compatibility
with old device tree, so driver patch[1] is needed to iterate over
sibling mdp device nodes, not child ones, to keep driver work properly.
In mtk_mdp_probe()
Old: for_each_child_of_node(dev->of_node, node)
New: for_each_child_of_node(dev->of_node->parent, node)

This patch is provided by Daniel, so I keep he is the author.
I just split his patch into two parts. One is dts only, and the other is
for driver. I also provide another patch to modify dts bindings
according to this patch.
