I wonder if we should maintain backward compatibility for this driver
since s5p-mfc memory allocation won't work with an old FDT if support
for the old properties are removed.
Well, minimally the commit log should indicate that compatibility is
being broken.
Compatibility is only partially broken. I add this to the commit
message. Old
bindings will still work with the new driver when IOMMU is enabled - in
such case reserved
memory regions are ignored so this should not be a big issue. Using
IOMMU also increases
total memory space for the video buffers without wasting it as
'reserved'. Hope that
once those patches are merged, the IOMMU can be finally enabled in the
exynos_defconfig.
Best regards
