Stronger against what, though? The sole reason this mutex exists at all
is as a temporary measure to protect the IOVA domain from concurrent
initialisation - I suppose in hindsight it might have made sense to
define it inside the union, but I don't see much point in churning that
now. I'd rather spend the time on continuing to get the
iommu_probe_device() path sorted out so that we don't have the whole
problematic driver-probe-time-replay mess in the first place and this
mutex can be reverted ASAP.

Please teach your robot to care about things that actually matter. All
it's "reporting" here is that it isn't clever enough to follow control
flow across multiple compilation units, otherwise it should have seen
the matching iommu_is_dma_domain() checks between __iommu_domain_alloc()
and iommu_setup_dma_ops(). Having to explain this is not a good use of
the kernel community's time and effort.

Thanks,
Robin.
