 From my readings, a node defined under reserved-memory can have other 
properties like "reg" alongwith "iommu-addresses". Are we saying when 
*only* "iommu-addresses" is there, then move to the device and when 
other property is there, then move to individual device ?

Again the device may have the "reg" property already, in such case, 
moving the iommu-addresses + reg in corresponding device might not be 
feasible.
