Send !patches to devicetree-spec if you want any chance of it being 
seen. If it is not a patch in PW from the firehose that's the 
devicetree list, then I likely never read it. 

But I don't have any clue how iommu-addresses works to give guidance. 
I'd propose something that works for you if you really want some 
discussion.
