Since .release_device is now called through per-device ops, any call

device which has successfully passed .probe_device, so all the checks to
that effect are now redundant and can be removed. In the same vein we
can also skip freeing fwspecs which are now managed by core code.

Does this depend on any other series? I didn't see iommu_fwspec_free()
called in the core code. Or I missed anything?

dev_iommu_free() cleans up param->fwspec directly (see b54240ad4943). FWIW the plan is that iommu_fwspec_free() should eventually go away - of the remaining uses after this, two are in fact similarly redundant already, since there's also a dev_iommu_free() in the probe failure path, and the other two should disappear in part 2 of fixing the bus probing mess (wherein the of_xlate step gets pulled into iommu_probe_device as well, and finally works correctly again).

Yes, it is. Thanks for the explanation.
