I tested your v7 using exynos_defconfig + CONFIG_EXYNOS_IOMMU on both
Exynos5250 Snow and Exynos5420 Peach Pit Chromebooks.

I can only reproduce the complete system hang on Xorg if I use the
xf86-video-armsoc DDX. If I use the -fbdev DDX instead, X starts
correctly and the system does not freeze. Also, this only happens on
Exynos5420 Peach Pit, Exynos5250 Snow is working correctly even when
using the -armsoc DDX.

So as you said, this is a separate issue with the Exynos DRM driver
IOMMU support and is not related to your series. For the whole series:
