Tobias mentioned on IRC that the exynos4-is driver conflicts with the
Exynos DRM driver since both exynos_drm_fimc and exynos-fimc-is use
the FIMC block.

So I think we should just discard $SUBJECT and instead add a Kconfig
check to not allow both drivers to be built as suggested by Tobias.

Like is the case for the other components (G2D, GSC, Mixer, etc).
