Enabling the display would be nice but for some quite long time we had
issues with DRM on Exynos. exynos_defconfig has it enabled and most of
boards boot fine with it. Exception is Arndale 5250:
http://storage.kernelci.org/next/next-20150514/arm-exynos_defconfig/lab-khilman/boot-exynos5250-arndale.html
[    1.630290] [drm:exynos_dp_bind] *ERROR* failed: of_get_videomode() : -22
[    1.637071] exynos-drm exynos-drm: failed to bind
145b0000.dp-controller (ops exynos_dp_ops): -22
[    1.646504] exynos-drm exynos-drm: master bind failed: -22
[    1.651391] exynos-drm: probe of exynos-drm failed with error -22

Anyway it is not like I am against it... just wondering. On the other
hand enabling it could help in early detection of errors.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
