Here I meant I explicitly disabled DRM_IMX in the kernel configuraion
so that it is not used in run-time.

And given my comment above I don't really see any difference between
DRM_IMX and DRM_UDL (except their HW implmentation which I guess should
not bother upper layers) so why do wee need to treat them differently?

Most probably I'm missing something but my thought was if we have
2 equally well supported KMS devices we may easily swap them and still
have resulting setup functional.
