I don't think that's accurate anymore (we still have a config check,
except it's encoded directly in the panfrost_transparent_hugepage definition),
and I think I'd prefer if this change was done in a separate commit.

This can probably be turned into:

		if (err)
			drm_warn(&pfdev->base,
				 "Can't use Transparent Hugepage (%d)\n", err);
		else
			drm_info(&pfdev->base, "Using Transparent Hugepage\n");

since there's no world where drm_gem_get_huge_mnt() would return NULL if
drm_gem_huge_mnt_create() returns 0 when CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y.
The pre-existing checks where there to cover CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n
which you already cover by not entering this branch.
