DT doesn't come into it for imx-ipuv3-crtc - these platform devices are
created by drivers/gpu/ipu-v3/ipu-common.c itself.

drivers/gpu/drm/imx/ipuv3-crtc.c contains the proper module alias which
should result in the module loaded at boot time when the imx-ipuv3-crtc
devices are created.

Could the problem be that imx-ipu-v3 isn't being loaded?  However, again,
it looks to me like everything is correct there.

Are you saying that this used to work in older kernel versions like 4.3,
but stopped in 4.4?
