Hi Sricharan,

Thank you for the patch.

While deferring the probe of IOMMU masters,
xlate and add_device callback can pass back error values
like -ENODEV, which means IOMMU cannot be connected
with that master for real reasons. So rather than
killing the master's probe for such errors, just
ignore the errors and let the master work without
an IOMMU.
I don't think this is a good idea. Why should we allow IOMMU drivers to return 
an error if we're always going to ignore the error value ? That will lead to 
drivers implementing slightly different behaviours, which will be painful the 
day we'll need to start acting based on the error value.
The of_iommu_configure interface, before this series, was returning either
correct 'iommu_ops' or NULL. Also there was no return value from
of_dma_configure which calls of_iommu_configure. This means that if we block
only -ENODEV now and let the other errors, the probe of the master devices
can be killed for reasons apart from deferring. This would be a change in
behavior introduced. All of xlate, add_device, of_pci_map_rid and others
can return values apart from -ENODEV. So was thinking that restoring the
old behavior, except for returning EPROBE_DEFER was the better thing to do ?

At the very least, if you want to give a specific meaning to -ENODEV, you 
should check for that value specifically and not ignore all errors other than 
-EPROBE_DEFER. You also need to document the meaning of the error value. This 
can be done in the documentation of the of_xlate operation in 
include/linux/iommu.h:

And add documentation for the error codes there.

If you want to ignore some errors returned from the add_device operation you 
should document it similarly, and in particular document which error check(s) 
need to be performed by of_xlate and which are the responsibility of 
add_device.
