sunxi: video: Use frontend for dma on sun4i to fix memory bandwidth problems Testing has shown that on sun4i the display backend engine does not have deep enough fifo-s causing flickering / tearing in full-hd mode due to fifo underruns. On sun4i use the display frontend engine to do the dma from memory, as the frontend does have deep enough fifo-s. As added advantage of this is that it results in much better memory bandwidth as it reduces the amount of dram bank switches, for more details see: http://ssvb.github.io/2014/11/11/revisiting-fullhd-x11-desktop-performance-of-the-allwinner-a10.html Note that this changes the pipeline searched for in the simplefb node, we can get away with doing this now, since no kernel has yet shipped with simplefb dtb nodes, and I will make sure to get a simplefb node with the new pipeline into 3.19 before it ships.
