Sorry, I forgot about this issue. The solution is really simple: All
boards in tree using video use memblock_* functions to get their
coherent dma space for the camera. So we can just remove all
CONSISTENT_DMA_SIZE defines in arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/memory.h.

If I understand your patch correctly we get a default size of 2MiB
when init_consistent_dma_size() is not called. That's fine for the other
i.MX boards.
