Thanks for review and suggestion.
Our initial investigation pointed out issue due to change in vb2_queue
dev field by commit 2548fee63d9e ("[media] media/platform: convert
drivers to use the new vb2_queue dev field"), where only for mfc q->dev
pointer was not set.

But I think you are right, and of_reserved_mem_device_init_by_idx should
take care of setting dma_ops for devices which calls this function. So I
will be submitting new change soon to fix this issue after testing it.

Thanks,
