I haven't tried to check every code path very thoroughly, expecting you
to do it since you're making this patch. Maybe there is a real reason
why majority of drivers do the checks and it would be good to know why.
Although, it's not critical in this particular case and indeed the
checks could be improved later on.

It looks to me that at least will be a bit better/cleaner to check the
dev_iommu_priv_get() for NULL instead of fwspec because the private
variable depends on the fwspec presence and there is a similar check in
probe_device, hence checks will be more consistent.
