5376 * 4032 * 2 = 43352064 (bytes) is a large size for me.
If this is a software issue, fix it.
If this is a hardware limitation, add comment to describe how hardware work so need this dummy buffer.
If next SoC has no this hardware limitation, we could drop dummy buffer in next SoC.

I think every driver has different reason to use dummy buffer.
So we could not directly infer that this driver need dummy buffer.
