Thanks for testing!

Yes, when IOMMU is enabled, it keeps power domains enabled all the time.
Proper implementation of runtime power management is on my todo list and
needs some more discussions about the way it will be integrated with power
domain code. For the initial version I just wanted to have a working IOMMU
driver, aggressive runtime pm will be implemented later.

The old driver should work fine with and without IOMMU, because it doesn't
do any fancy buffer management like Exynos DRM drivers.
