Hello Rob,

This makes things definitely more consistent, as it's done like that on
mtk-pm-domains and other mtk drivers as well.

The main reason why this phandle is useful, here and in other drivers, is
that we're seeing a list of compatibles that is growing more and more, so
you see stuff like (mockup names warning):

switch (some_model)
case MT1000:
	p = "mediatek,mt1000-infracfg";
	break;
case MT1001:
	p = "mediatek,mt1001-infracfg";
	break;
case MT1002:
	p = "mediatek,mt1002-infracfg";
	break;
.....add another 20 SoCs, replicate this switch for 4/5 drivers....

and this is why I want the mtk_iommu driver to also get that phandle like
some other drivers are already doing.

By the way, thanks for the ack!

Regards,
Angelo
