[media] s5p-mfc: Add support for probe-time preallocated block based allocator
Current MFC driver depends on the fact that when IOMMU is available, the DMA-mapping framework and its IOMMU glue will use first-fit allocator. This was true for ARM architecture, but its not for ARM64 arch. However, in case of MFC v6+ hardware and latest firmware, it turned out that there is no strict requirement for ALL buffers to be allocated on higher addresses than the firmware base. This requirement is true only for the device and per-context buffers. All video data buffers can be allocated anywhere for all MFC v6+ versions. Such relaxed requirements for the memory buffers can be easily fulfilled by allocating firmware, device and per-context buffers from the probe-time preallocated larger buffer. This patch adds support for it. This way the driver finally works fine on ARM64 architecture. The size of the preallocated buffer is 8 MiB, what is enough for three instances H264 decoders or encoders (other codecs have smaller memory requirements). If one needs more for particular use case, one can use "mem" module parameter to force larger (or smaller) buffer (for example by adding "s5p_mfc.mem=16M" to kernel command line).
