Thanks, pushed via dim. Since this way breaking the 0day buildbot,
I've decided to not wait too long.

AFAICT the exynos is also using drm_gem_prime_import_dev. Having a
slightly closer look, it uses a distinct component driver for DMA.
One that varies across HW generation.

It should be doable to rework/remove that, since my knowledge in
exynos is limited, I'd refrain for now.
