The DMM does indeed contain a number of entities.  However, the TILER
portion is the only part that requires a driver.  All other register
modifications (LISA map settings, EMIF, etc) are done statically in the
loader or u-boot and never changed again.  As such, DMM has become
synonymous with TILER.
