Yes, that's what my report implied. :)

I'm bringing this up for -rc2 though: It sounds as if that option should
remain unavailable until the required code is in? Thanks.

Sure. I'm updating my old spring-bridge.v6 branch [1] to 3.17-rc1 [2],
which involves three drm bridge patches rebased onto the new drm panel
prepare/unprepare infrastructure plus two LVDS DT patches in addition to
the IOMMU patches. That old branch included DT changes for 5250 in "ARM:
dts: add System MMU nodes of Exynos SoCs", but that'll probably need
updating for the new bindings.

Andreas
