Unfortunately this breaks virtio-iommu on v6.0-rc1. Could you add it to
your revert series [1]?

Eventually I'd really like to use fw_devlink in order to enable module
support, so I'm looking for a proper fix. Our DT description is peculiar
because the virtio-iommu, when it uses the virtio-pci transport, can
appear on the same PCI bus than the endpoints it manages. So the PCI node
looks like this:

	pcie@10000000 {
		compatible = "pci-host-ecam-generic";
		...
		iommu-map = <0x00 &viommu 0x00 0x20>
		            <0x21 &viommu 0x21 0xffdf>;

		viommu: virtio_iommu@32 {
			#iommu-cells = <0x01>;
			reg = <0x2000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00>;
			compatible = "virtio,pci-iommu";
		};
	};

The iommu-map property points to the IOMMU sub-node for all endpoints
except the IOMMU itself (device 0x20 - 00:04.0). fw_devlink currently
rejects this:

  [    0.270150] OF: Not linking pcie@10000000 to virtio_iommu@32 - is descendant
  [    0.270324] OF: Not linking pcie@10000000 to virtio_iommu@32 - is descendant

I don't know yet if this kind of topology could ever work with fw_devlink,
but I thought I'd notify you before digging further.

Thanks,
Jean
