DSS works fine without CMA, at least for small displays, and when fb allocation is done at boot time. So it's not a strict "need". I'm not sure how easily FB allocations start to fail without CMA, and how much CMA helps. I'm not even sure what's the default DMA pool size on OMAP... If it's the one set with "coherent_pool" kernel parameter, then the default seems to be 256K, which is quite small for video use. For CMA the default global area is 16M. Both can, of course, be changed with boot params or kernel config (at least for CMA). But I think it makes sense to have CMA by default even if non-CMA kernel would work. Tomi
