I suspected that there may have been a bit of missing magic.  The only
use of these functions that I was able to find was in an earlier out of
tree patch series where these functions were called from the s5p-mfc
driver:

http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-mm-sig/2014-August/004140.html

I agree that "automated assignment" via core bus code would be a better
solution but I don't know where to add the calls.
