Indeed, it will be surprising if $subject changes any behavior on
Exynos5420/5422/5800 machines.

FWIW, this patch is not needed anymore since the right fix is Krzysztof's
"drm/exynos: Enable DP clock to fix display on Exynos5250 and other" patch
which is already in linux-next.

The regression on Exynos5420/5422/5800 that has been for a while is fixed
by "ARM: dts: Make DP a consumer of DISP1 power domain on Exynos5420" [0]
which has been posted many weeks ago.
