Re: [PATCH 1/6 v8] iommu/fsl: Store iommu domain information pointer in archdata.

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>]

btw the device struct already has a pointer to its iommu_group, and the 
iommu_group struct itself has a pointer void *iommu_data which you could 
use for anything you want (iommu_group_get_iommudata(), 
iommu_group_set_iommudata()).

By design you are expected to add iommu groups to a domain but not devices 
so I am not so sure that you really need a pointer to domain in the device 
struct.
