Indeed, you're right! It used to be that ops were assigned to the bus
without any knowledge about the specific instances that might exist, but
nowadays there's struct iommu_device which properly encapsulates all of
that, so yeah, I don't think this can ever be NULL.

Although that makes me wonder why we aren't going one step further and
pass struct iommu_device * into ->of_xlate(), which would avoid the need
for us to do the look up once more.
