Hm, to me this sounds much like the reasoning for the etnaviv
dependency. There is no actual build dependency, as the allocations are
done through the DMA API, but for the allocations to succeed you most
likely want CMA to be enabled. But that's just an observation from the
outside, I have no real clue about the remoteproc drivers.
As far as the etnaviv changes are concerned:
