OK, see if the following fixes the issue for you, only build tested.

Subject: [PATCH] media: omap3isp: fix unbalanced dma_iommu_mapping

The OMAP3 ISP driver manages its MMU mappings through the IOMMU-aware
ARM DMA backend. The current code creates a dma_iommu_mapping and
attaches this to the ISP device, but never detaches the mapping in
either the probe failure paths or the driver remove path resulting
in an unbalanced mapping refcount and a memory leak. Fix this properly.
