Note that there will be no new releases of the bootloader for earlier
devices, so adding support for these new DT bindings will not be
practical. The bootloaders on those devices do pass information about
the active framebuffer via the kernel command-line, so we may want to
add code to create reserved regions in the IOMMU based on that.

Since this change requires a bootloader update anyways, why it's not
possible to fix the bootloader properly, making it to stop all the DMA
activity before jumping into kernel?


That is not desirable, as then we couldn't have seamless bootloader-kernel boot splash transition.
