i think we need more explanation in the commit message of the relation between these both modules.
On the one side BCM_VC_SM_CMA should be a driver, but it's not a driver for a specific hardware. It looks like more an extension of VCHIQ MMAL or does other (maybe not yet imported) vc04 driver make also use of this.
My question is: is BCM_VC_SM_CMA a real member on the VCHIQ bus and why? Best regards
