Removing the use of custom rockchip_drm_gem and use the common gem dma
fops should also allow import of framebuffers in >4GB address.

I played around with that [1] last year but never took it further
because it broke multiple VOPs/IOMMUSs on e.g. rk3288. Only IOMMU dte
address handling fixes for >4GB support was sent and got merged.

When I tested [1] on an RK3568 back then it was possible to import video
framebuffers located in >4GB memory and display them on screen without a
spam of "swiotlb buffer is full" lines.

Maybe there is some part of the current custom rockchip_drm_gem code
that can be adjusted to work closer to the common gem dma fops?, or
maybe fully drop rockchip_drm_gem in favor of common gem dma fops could
be an alternative solution?
