What I'd really like to find out is what the mmsys device is. Its DT binding 
documents it as "The Mediatek mmsys controller provides various clocks to the 
system". Even if it provides clocks to the display engine, it shouldn't be 
used as the root device in the display complex. There could of course be 
information I'm lacking as the datasheet isn't public. Hopefully someone from 
Mediatek and/or Google will be able to comment on this.
