Hi Hans,

Thanks for your help to give some good advice.

According to iommu's information, the dma operation for secure and non-
secure are the same, whether just need to add one memory type in v4l2
framework the same as V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF? The dma operation in
videobuf2-dma-contig.c can use the same functions.
