Note that there will be no new releases of the bootloader for earlier devices, so adding support for these new DT bindings will not be practical. The bootloaders on those devices do pass information about the active framebuffer via the kernel command-line, so we may want to add code to create reserved regions in the IOMMU based on that.
Since this change requires a bootloader update anyways, why it's not possible to fix the bootloader properly, making it to stop all the DMA activity before jumping into kernel?
