It's not easy problem to me. Should we add which clock? I think we
cannot control ACLK_200_DISP1 or CLKDIV2_DISP1_BLK directly by below
hierarchy, right? Then we should control gate clocks, but we have not
controlled any gate clocks using BTS_ prefix.

The clock hierarchy from Exynos5422 user manual,
ACLK_200_DISP1 -- CLKDIV2_DISP1_BLK -- HDMI LINK
                                       HDMI PHY
                                       MIC1
                                       DSIM1
                                       DPTX LINK
                                       MDNIE1
                                       SYSMMU_MIXER
                                       SYSMMU_FIMD1_M0
                                       SYSMMU_FIMD1_M1
                                       BTS_TVM0
                                       BTS_TVM1
                                       BTS_FIMD1_M0
                                       BTS_FIMD1_M1

Other way, IMHO, fimd driver doesn't have to enable ACLK_200_DISP1 clock,
just it should be controlled by connector drivers, e.g. dsi, dp because
fimd only cannot operate, so dsi or dp must need (Actually i'm not sure
about this, just i thought that Exynos5 SoCs don't have any gpios for
dpi, so they cannot use dpi, right?).

It needs to probe connector driver like dsi or dp earlier than fimd and
fimd_bind function should return error if connector driver like dsi or
dp was not probed. This is also not easy to me.
