Does the DP node itself need more data to work or just some external
things are missing? If the former then probably status = "disabled"
should be set, otherwise "okay" is fine if provided data are enough to
probe the Exynos DP driver.

Support for Exynos IOMMU is being worked on right now and patches adding
DT support from Marek Szyprowski should show up on the lists in very
near future. However I think you don't strictly need IOMMU to get
non-simplefb display, as CMA can be used to allocate contiguous memory.

Looking at what we already have in mainline and the discussion in
Chromium issue tracker, current driver should be already in shape to
handle the Chromebooks. Apparently it even supports recovery from
bootloader mode without the need to parse bootloader address from DT (it
somehow calculates possible addresses from main address).
