Testing has shown that on sun4i the display backend engine does not have deep enough fifo-s causing flickering / tearing in full-hd mode due to fifo underruns. This can be avoided by letting the display frontend engine do the dma from memory, and then letting it feed the data directly into the backend unmodified, as the frontend does have deep enough fifo-s. Note since u-boot-v2015.01 has been released using the de_be0-lcd0-hdmi pipeline on sun4i, we need to keep that one around too (unfortunately).
