yeah, we could not allocate CMA region for FIMD, because the function
dma_declare_contiguous() needs "dev" as the first argument and we have
access to "dev" node only if it is NON-DT way of probing like the way
it is done in arch/arm/mach-davinci/devices-da8xx.c
But now, since the probing is through DT way, there is NO way ( Let me
know if something is newly added ) to call dma_declare_contiguous()
and reserve CMA region .
we don't have any specific requirement for NON_CONTIG or CONTIG
memory, but only requirement was to allocate a bigger memory like (
2560 * 1600 * 4 ) for FB.
But as Rob suggested, we should have fall-back case if CONTIG memory
allocation fails, as below
