     Currently We have to use iommu_detach_group and iommu_attach_group.
Is there any plan for adding detach/attach the device within a iommu
group?

Why I ask this is because that:

    There are 2 interfaces in MTK-SMI patch, named by
mtk_smi_larb_get/mtk_smi_larb_put which help enable/disable the
power-domain and clocks for each a device(local arbiter).
Take a example, VIDEO have to call mtk_smi_larb_get to enable its power
and clocks before it works and call mtk_smi_larb_put to disable them
after it work done.

    If the iommu support attach/detach the device in a iommu-group, then
we could request VIDEO to call iommu_attach_device before it works(the
mtk_iommu_attach_device will call the smi interface to enable its power,
clocks and enable iommu).and call iommu_detach_device after it work
done. then the VIDEO could call iommu_attach_device/iommu_detach_device
instead of talking with SMI directly.
