It's driver decision and the kernel does not provide this information. In
general, drivers without an IOMMU (like most of NXP drivers) will use non-cache-
able memory allocation which is near unusable by videoconvert (often slower
software decode). Most SoC have some converter capability, which can be exposed
through an m2m driver and uses with v4l2convert element.
