Great, thanks for testing. I'll send the patch upstream so that it gets
included into v4.5

Possibly yes, I need to have a closer look there. That caching of
dev_data structures is done for historical reasons. I'll check first if
this is still necessary.

There are no documents about the inner structure of the AMD IOMMU driver
besides the source code. The dev_data area is used to attach
iommu-driver specific data (like the domain it is attached to) to a
struct device.

The dev_data->domain member points to the domain this device is
currently attached to, while group points to the iommu-group the device
is in.
