I think this is basically OK, for what it is. It looks like there is
more some-day opportunity to make use of the core infrastructure though.

I wouldn't worry about it..

For another day, but it seems a bit strange to call iommu_probe_device() like this?
Shouldn't one of the existing call sites cover this? The one in
of_iommu.c perhaps?

I think you can NULL this op:
static bool iommu_is_attach_deferred(struct device *dev)
{
const struct iommu_ops *ops = dev_iommu_ops(dev);
if (ops->is_attach_deferred)
return ops->is_attach_deferred(dev);
return false;
}

Is this missing a refcount get on the group?

It is important when this returns that the iommu translation is all
emptied. There should be no left over translations from the DMA API at
this point. I have no idea how power works in this regard, but it
should be explained why this is safe in a comment at a minimum.
It will turn into a security problem to allow kernel mappings to leak
past this point.
