The NPU IOMMU is setup to mirror the parent PCIe device IOMMU setup. Therefore it does not make sense to call dma operations such as dma_map_page, etc. directly on these devices. The existing dma-ops simply print a warning if they are ever called, however this is unnecessary and the warnings are likely to go unnoticed. It is instead simpler to remove these operations and let the generic DMA code print warnings (eg. via a NULL pointer deref) in cases of buggy drivers attempting dma operations on NVLink devices.

Applied to powerpc fixes, thanks. https://git.kernel.org/powerpc/c/3182215dd0b2120fb942ed88430cfb cheers
