Sorry for the late.

Yes, these two patches have the same purpose to guard the system, while in two
different places. One is in powernv platform, the other is in the generic iommu
driver.

The one in powernv platform is used to correct the original logic.

The one in generic iommu driver is to keep system safe in case other platform to
call iommu_group_remove_device() without the check.
