I wonder if only NXP met the "swiotlb buffer full" issue. In theory,
when format is YUYV, those resolutions no greater than 320x240 (153600 bytes,
which less than the max mapping size 256K ) can't meet the issue.
But resolutions no less than 640x480 (307200 bytes), may have chances to
trigger the issue.
