I think this is OK and in line with the discussion we had on the list. I
propose the following wording instead:

"""
The Xen IOMMU represents the Xen grant table interface. Grant mappings
are to be used with devices connected to the Xen IOMMU using the
"iommus" property, which also specifies the ID of the backend domain.
The binding is required to restrict memory access using Xen grant
mappings.

Here I would say:

"""
The single cell is the domid (domain ID) of the domain where the backend
is running.
"""

With the two wording improvements:
