Look like SRAM init during sun4i_drv is unable to claim or map the
memory? do we have any suggestion on adding 'allwinner,pipelines' ? is
it ok to add one more de which is compatible with sun4i_drv.c like
this.

de: display-engine {
                compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-a64-display-engine",
"allwinner,sun8i-h3-display-engine";
                allwinner,pipelines = <&mixer0>;
};
