So we can do something like this,

index fd76e2f579fe..5fd31a3cec18 100644
--- a/drivers/iommu/iommu.c
+++ b/drivers/iommu/iommu.c
@@ -2865,10 +2865,12 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(iommu_fwspec_add_ids);
*/
int iommu_dev_enable_feature(struct device *dev, enum iommu_dev_features feat)
{
- const struct iommu_ops *ops = dev->bus->iommu_ops;
+ if (dev->iommu && dev->iommu->iommu_dev && dev->iommu->iommu_dev->ops)
+ struct iommu_ops *ops = dev->iommu->iommu_dev->ops;

- if (ops && ops->dev_enable_feat)
- return ops->dev_enable_feat(dev, feat);
+ if (ops->dev_enable_feat)
+ return ops->dev_enable_feat(dev, feat);
+ }

return -ENODEV;
}

Again, not sure we need to do the checking for iommu->dev and ops here. If the
dev->iommu is set, is it safe to assume that we have a valid iommu->iommu_dev
and ops always? (May be it is safer to do the checking in case something
else breaks this assumption in future). Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
