I tested Exynos DRM with the IOMMU enabled today and couldn't find any
of the previous issues.

A few things that I noticed though:

1) Without the IOMMU I get these powerdomain infos in the kernel logs:
"lcd0-power-domain: Power-on latency exceeded, new value 416167 ns"
"tv-power-domain: Power-on latency exceeded, new value 456125 ns"
These don't appear with the IOMMU, so I was wondering if the
powerdomains are now staying on the whole time?

2) With Exynos DRM now having a dependency on IOMMU (when it is
enabled), I was wondering if anything needs to be done for the old
's5p-tv' driver to work properly now?

With best wishes,
Tobias
