We get a harmless build warning when trying to use the mediatek DRM driver with IOMMU support disabled:
warning: (DRM_MEDIATEK) selects IOMMU_DMA which has unmet direct dependencies (IOMMU_SUPPORT)
However, the IOMMU_DMA symbol is not meant to be used by drivers at all, and this driver doesn't seem to have a strict dependency on it other than using the mediatek IOMMU driver that does.
Since we also want to be able to do compile tests with the driver on other platforms, the IOMMU_DMA symbol should not be selected here.

If someone has a better explanation about why the 'select' is here, let me know, it certainly seems out of place.
No, it just has been there since the initial RFC and nobody noticed.

I tried make ARCH=arm64 allnoconfig and then set CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_ARCH_MEDIATEK=y CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_MEDIATEK=m
And it builds fine with IOMMU_DMA/MTK_IOMMU disabled.
thanks Philipp
