That is unfortunate, but thank you for your explanation.

Is this limitation exynos4 specific, or does it also apply for the
exynos5 mixer?
Was the limitation perhaps the number of bits in the SXY register
fields (< 11) on those devices?
For 5250/5420 these fields are 11 bits, and I don't see any
restrictions about "dma memory size" in the documentation that I have.

Thanks,
