Hi Sricharan,

While deferring the probe of IOMMU masters, xlate and
add_device callbacks called from iort_iommu_configure
can pass back error values like -ENODEV, which means
the IOMMU cannot be connected with that master for real
reasons. Before the IOMMU probe deferral, all such errors
were ignored. Now all those errors are propagated back,
killing the master's probe for such errors. Instead ignore
all the errors except EPROBE_DEFER, which is the only one
of concern and let the master work without IOMMU, thus
restoring the old behavior.

It is getting a bit convoluted. Is not it better to propagate the
error back and let acpi_dma_configure() make a decision accordingly ?

Something like:
