I was able to narrow it down the 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor
internal allocation functions") that caused the regression with
Etnaviv.

I also noticed that if I create a reserved memory node as was done one
imx6ul-ccimx6ulsom.dtsi the 3D seems to work again, but without it, I
was getting errors regardless of the 'cma=256M' or not.
I don't have a problem using the reserved memory, but I guess I am not
sure what the amount should be.  I know for the video decoding 1080p,
I have historically used cma=128M, but with the 3D also needing some
memory allocation, is that enough or should I use 256M?
