A72 (which I believe is the CPU in that SoC) is a v8.0 CPU and therefore
doesn't have hardware DBM.

There have been a few patches from Catalin to fix up the hardware DBM
patches, so it might be worth trying to reproduce this failure with a
more recent kernel. I doubt this is related to the allocation failures,
however.
