Sorry, I should had mention it in the commit message. I get that error
with at least Exynos5800 Peach Pi, Exynos5420 Peach Pit and Exynos5250
Snow Chromebooks with today's next (next-20150217).

The problem is that the Exynos IOMMU driver does not set a struct
exynos_iommu_owner in dev.archdata.iommu but __exynos_sysmmu_enable()
has a BUG_ON(!has_sysmmu(dev)).

Marek's series [1] solves this issue by filling sysmmu devices from DT
but causes boot failures on the Exynos Chromebooks because the display
is left enabled by the bootloader [2].

So I think that this option should be disabled until is known to not
cause issues on any platform.
