This patch set moves more of the buffer allocation work to CMA. So that we don't waste RAM unnecessarily and ensure that the graphics/multimedia drivers (Mali and Cedar) have exactly as much memory as needed for enabling all the features and optimal performance.
Or in other words, the kernel parts releated to 3D graphics and hardware video decoding just work out of the box and do not require any error prone kernel cmdline parameters selection for memory reservation or tweaking FEX files. Also ROOT_NFS is enabled and the cpufreq settings are unified for sun4i/sun5i/sun7i. These are the old patches that I have been using for ages. They serve exactly the same purpose: make things work out of the box in a reasonable way.
