Agreed but keep in mind that CONFIG_EXYNOS_IOMMU is currently enabled
in arch/arm/configs/exynos_defconfig so you should include in your
series a patch to disable that config option to prevent the boot hang.
Or at least add a of_machine_is_compatible("google,peach") check
although I don't know if there are other Exynos machines that have the
same issue.

Best regards,
Javier
