Title:
Xenial/raspi2 and RaspberryPi3A+: video not working
Status in linux-raspi2 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Video is not working on the RaspberryPi3A+, and in dmesg there's this:
ubuntu@raspi3:~$ dmesg | grep cma

it tries to allocate 256M for CMA and fail, and that has a cascade
effect on the drm driver (that fails to init) and as such the video is
not working.
One easy workaround i found is to reduce the CMA size from 256M to
128M on the bootargs:
[ 0.000000] cma: Reserved 128 MiB at 0x10000000

[ 1.221454] vc-cma: vc_cma_initial = 0x00000000 (0 MiB)
this way the video works again.
