In the original of_iommu_configure design, the thought was that an ops
structure could be IOMMU-instance-specific (hence the later-removed
"priv" member), so I suppose right now it is mostly a hangover from
that. However, it's also what we initialise a device's fwspec with, so
becomes important again if we're ever going to get past the limitations
of buses-which-are-not-actually-buses[1].
