This is probably a side effect of patch 
3170447c1f264d51b8d1f3898bf2588588a64fdc
("iommu/exynos: Select ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU"). It added selection of 
ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU
symbol, on which IOMMU support in Exynos DRM subsystem depends. However 
selecting
this symbol is all that this patch does, without providing any code code 
which
implements real support for ARM DMA IOMMU integration, which is needed 
by Exynos
DRM driver. Please disable CONFIG_DRM_EXYNOS_IOMMU in kernel .config and 
your
system should be bootable again.

I can prepare DT changes for Exynos5 as well, but first I wanted to 
clarify if
everyone involved in generic IOMMU bindings and Exynos IOMMU driver 
agrees on my
proposal.
