I don't fully agree with it.

You can't reduce the size of the reserved memory pool without removing
every reference to (mx2_camera_base + 2 * MX2_CAMERA_BUF_SIZE) in
dma_declare_coherent_memory() calls. Otherwise we'll be trying to use
memory outside the pool.

Alternatively, and provided CMA works properly in i.MX27, which is
something I have not tested, you could just remove visstrim_reserve()
callback and every reference to dma_declare_coherent_memory().
