I'm learning everyday too, but I'm surprised I don't see a call to
vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() in this driver (I could also just have missed
a patch when overlooking this thread) ?

The reason I'm asking, doc says it should be called by driver supporting IOMMU,
which seems to be the case for such drivers (MFC, exynos4-is, exynos-gsc, mtk-
mdp, s5p-g2d, hantro, rkvdec, zoran, ti-vpe, ..). I posting it, worst case it's
all covered and we are good, otherwise perhaps a downstream patch didn't make it
?

/**
 * vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() - configure DMA max segment size
 * @dev:        device for configuring DMA parameters
 * @size:       size of DMA max segment size to set
 *
 * To allow mapping the scatter-list into a single chunk in the DMA
 * address space, the device is required to have the DMA max segment
 * size parameter set to a value larger than the buffer size. Otherwise,
 * the DMA-mapping subsystem will split the mapping into max segment
 * size chunks. This function sets the DMA max segment size
 * parameter to let DMA-mapping map a buffer as a single chunk in DMA
 * address space.
 * This code assumes that the DMA-mapping subsystem will merge all
 * scatterlist segments if this is really possible (for example when
 * an IOMMU is available and enabled).
 * Ideally, this parameter should be set by the generic bus code, but it
 * is left with the default 64KiB value due to historical litmiations in
 * other subsystems (like limited USB host drivers) and there no good
 * place to set it to the proper value.
 * This function should be called from the drivers, which are known to
 * operate on platforms with IOMMU and provide access to shared buffers
 * (either USERPTR or DMABUF). This should be done before initializing
 * videobuf2 queue.
