Enabling CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM would still crash the NXP 
driver. I think I'll add a flag to drm_fbdev_dma_setup() to set 
smem_start from within lima, which is the only driver that requires 
it.I'd like to remove CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM and all that, but 
I fear that it would break someone's setup. Best regards Thomas
