Yeah, I don't think we go through the of_iommu_configure() path, the setup is
mostly done using .probe_device() and .attach_dev() ops. Since the MMUs are
present directly in the respective sub-systems and relies on the sub-system
clocking and power, the MMU itself is turned ON and enabled during .attach_dev().
