Not all DT bindings are mandatory bindings. Add support for optional DT

I don't think we can say these are optional or not. It's got to be a 
driver decision somehow.

For example, if IOMMU is optional, what happens with this sequence:

driver probes without IOMMU
driver calls dma_map_?()
IOMMU driver probes
h/w accesses DMA buffer --> BOOM!
