When you merge iommu support, then either you enable
CONFIG_MPU_BRIDGE_IOMMU unconditionally, or you apply this patch, but
this patch alone will only break things.

Any other driver which does not depend on bridge and interested in using iommu should get the handle when iommu_get("iva2") is called.

That's a hypothetical driver, right? The only driver that would ever
be interested in the "iva2" iommu is tidspbridge, and this patch would
brake it.

It is not happening in original case. I think there should not be restrictions on other drivers to define un-related compile time define if they just want to use iommu driver. I feel the implementation that is breaking due to removal of this define should be fixed.

I couldn't parse that correctly. However, what's wrong with the
proposal? Let's think about CONFIG_MPU_BRIDGE_IOMMU when the iommu
patches come.

Let's not break the existing code. Dropping this patch for now.
