support in another thread]

That's correct, I found the same the other day since and thought about
posting a patch to return -ENODEV if !has_sysmmu(dev) instead to avoid
the driver to panic the kernel. But then I realized this is already
fixed in Marek's "[PATCH v3 00/19] Exynos SYSMMU (IOMMU) integration
with DT and DMA-mapping subsystem" series [0].

Yes, please take a look to Marek series [0]. Keep in mind that the
series does not support all sysmmu revisions so IOMMU is not supported
for some SoCs (e.g: Exynos5). Support for that is planned once that
series land into mainline though [1].

May I ask why are you interested in IOMMU support on Exynos? I'm
asking because the reason why I tried to enable IOMMU support (and hit
the same issue) was to try using the Exynos DRM HDMI driver with IOMMU
since I found that HDMI is working on the downstream Samsung kernel
[2] that has IOMMU support, but is not working on mainline.

At the end the HDMI problem seems to not be IOMMU related but
something with the power domains and clocking but in case you are
facing the same issue, you may be interested in that discussion [3].

Best regards,
Javier
