I'm not sure why no-map is needed.

And I guess we could use alloc-ranges to make sure the region is in
the proper memory range, instead of hardcoding it.

We should have an A20-specific compatible here, at least, so that we
can deal with any quirk we might find down the road.

Since you made the CMA region the default one, you don't need to tie
it to that device in particular (and you can drop it being mandatory
from your binding as well).

This should be set from within the driver. If it's something that you
absolutely needed for the device to operate, you have no guarantee
that the clock rate won't change at any point in time after the device
probe, so that's not a proper solution.

And if it's not needed and can be adjusted depending on the
framerate/codec/resolution, then it shouldn't be in the DT either.

Don't you also need to map the SRAM on the A20?
