Hope that > once those patches are merged, the IOMMU can be finally enabled in the exynos_defconfig. > Yes, a problem is that some Exynos machines (for example the Snow and Peach Chromebooks) fail to boot when IOMMU is enabled due the bootloader leaving the FIMD enabled doing DMA operations automatically as you found before. You proposed to add a "iommu-reserved-mapping" property [0] but that never landed due not having an agreement on how should be fixed properly IIUC [1]. So that has to be fixed before enabling the Exynos IOMMU support by default.
