[PATCH v4] iommu: simplify list initialization across the iommu subsystem

From: Can Peng

Date: Fri Jan 16 2026 - 01:57:06 EST


Replace separate list head declarations and INIT_LIST_HEAD() calls with
the combined LIST_HEAD() macro throughout the iommu directory.
Using LIST_HEAD() merges declaration and initialization into a single
statement, improving code readability and reducing boilerplate without
altering any functionality.

No functional change intended.

Changes since previous version:
Rebased on top of iommu/next as requested by Vasant Hegde.
Adjusted commit message to be shorter and clearer, following Markus Elfring's suggestion.
Retained the LIST_HEAD() cleanup pattern consistently across the iommu directory.

Notes on prior discussion (from chat history):
The earlier version was reviewed positively:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/4526ca31-71a4-4b3f-b378-32546eb8133d@xxxxxxx/

Markus Elfring suggested using a more concise summary and
recommended the use of Coccinelle for this kind of transformation.

Best regards,
Can Peng
