If there is a problem with the TMU driver then it needs to be fixed,
especially if this is a regression. We aren't going to paper over real
bugs by just disabling the offending driver in the defconfig, all it does
is encourage people to not fix the problem later, and the same workaround
can be done locally if there's no desire to actually hunt down and fix
the regression.
