I consider use cases of multi_v7 the same as exynos (except the
difference in policy: use always modules). This means that if it makes
sense to enable some media drivers on exynos (for build coverage, boot
testing and real usage) then it makes sense to do the same for multi_v7.

In ideal future we would move entirely from exynos-specific image to one
common image for testing: the multi_v7. It would make things simpler.

Best regards,
