As you've noticed, it is default behavior for iommu fault.
If an upper layer calls iommu_set_fault_handler(),
it is replaced with the new one.

I think calling report_iommu_fault() in exynos_sysmmu_irq() is rather simple.
To do the default behavior in exynos_sysmmu_irq(),
it must check if domain->handler is NULL or not.
But the checking is also performed in report_iommu_fault() also.

I think just calling report_iommu_fault() reduces redundancy.

It is neither a specific behavior nor a generic logging.

Just a default MMU fault report that can be replaceable with a fault
handler that a device driver provides.
