Hi Suman,
Thank you for the patch.

omap_iommu_attach() returns NULL or ERR_PTR in case of error, but
omap_iommu_attach_dev() only checks for IS_ERR. Thus a NULL return value (in
case driver_find_device fails) will cause the kernel to panic when
omap_iommu_attach_dev() dereferences the pointer.
In such case, omap_iommu_attach() should return ENODEV, not NULL.

I would return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) here, and remove the initialization at
declaration of err above.
obj = to_iommu(dev);
