Are you saying that dmabufs are not the preferred route for sharing
buffers between kernel subsystems? What are you suggesting instead?

If the VPU (firmware) has a handle to the buffer then we need to
manage the lifetime such that it is not freed until the VPU has
released it. That is handled for you with dmabufs, therefore why
reinvent the wheel?
