There is no specific domain that "covering them". The IOMMU domain is allocated
dynamically during of the Tegra DRM's driver initialization (see tegra_drm_load) and
then all of DRM devices are attached to that domain once all of the DRM sub-drivers
are probed successfully. On Tegra SoCs it's up to software (driver) to decide how to
separate hardware devices from each other, in a case of DRM we're putting all the
relevant graphics devices into a single domain. Is it even possible to express IOMMU
domain (not group!) assignments in a device-tree?
