Merge branch 'exynos-drm-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos into drm-next
This patch set adds iommu support, userptr feature to g2d, minor fixups and code cleanups. And the iommu feature has dependency of the below patches related to dma mapping framework. This patch is used to allocate fully physically contiguous memory region. - add sending AVI and AVI info frames. . this adds some codes for composing AVI and AUI info frames and send them every VSYNC for HDMI Certification. - bug fix to previous pull request. - add some code cleanup * 'exynos-drm-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos: (32 commits) drm/exynos: sending AVI and AUI info frames drm/exynos: Use devm_clk_get in exynos_drm_fimd.c drm/exynos: Use devm_* APIs in exynos_hdmi.c drm/exynos: Use devm_clk_get in exynos_mixer.c drm/exynos: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference drm/exynos: Use devm_clk_get in exynos_drm_g2d.c drm/exynos: use sgt instead of pages for framebuffer address drm: exynos: fix for loosing display mode header during mode adjustment drm/exynos: fix memory leak to EDID block drm/exynos: remove 'pages' and 'page_size' elements in exynos gem buffer drm/exynos: add exynos drm specific fb_mmap function drm/exynos: make sure that overlay data are updated drm/exynos: add vm_ops to specific gem mmaper drm/exynos: add userptr feature for g2d module drm/exynos: remove unnecessary sg_alloc_table call drm: exynos: fix for mapping of dma buffers drm/exynos: remove EXYNOS_BO_NONCONTIG type checking. drm/exynos: add iommu support for g2d drm/exynos: add iommu support for hdmi driver drm/exynos: add iommu support to fimd driver ...

+be mapped as contiguous chunk into device dma address space. By
