Just to make it compile I kept this function in patch#2
In patch#4 "xen/arm: its: Remove unused code in ITS driver"
this code is removed.

First we can remove unused code and later make it compile in next patch.
But that make changes are not incremental fashion.

The vits_its_add_device() in vITS driver will track the devices
added to the domain.
