Add a wifi-firmware subnode for the wifi node.
This wifi-firmware subnode is needed for the
targets which do not support TrustZone.

Why can't you just add a 2nd entry to the existing 'iommus' property? 

A driver doing of_dma_configure() is generally not the right thing to 
do.

The SIDs mentioned in the wifi-firmware node will be belonging to the
firmware and not any HLOS.
In other targets with TZ, the hypervisor takes care of configuring the SIDs
(for its master).
In this target (sc7180 IDP) we are not having TZ (no hypervisor), hence
these need to be configured by HLOS.
The wifi-firmware node is added in-order to differentiate the SID between
driver and firmware.

This is same as the approach followed by Venus video driver in the below
patch
