For consistency with &pcie_smmu, I think it would be cleaner to put this
into hamoa.dtsi, mark it as status = "reserved"; and then enable it here
in the overlay. That way, we have a full hardware description in
hamoa.dtsi.

You should also be able to drop the interrupt-parent if you move it
there.

Thanks,
