To enable DM_VIDEO we must decrease binary size to fix build breakage for some boards, so drop not needed code. Also add !DM_VIDEO guards which can be later removed when last non DM users will be converted.

Given that the migration deadline for non-DM video boards was the v2019.07 release, what's the case for not:
- Perform the changes here, to save size.
I've submitted more patches to save size, changes here were not enough to fix building tbs2910 board with DM video enabled.
Thanks a lot for doing all of this.
- Enable conversions that can now be enabled.
All boards using ipuv3 driver are now converted, I'll submit a pull request to merge the changes.
OK, I'll take it for -next so you can wait a bit more or I'll queue it up for when I open -next.
- Disable video/drop platforms on unconverted boards.
For boards with only DM video conversion missing, it makes sense to disable video, but I don't know is this can be done for all such boards (some do not have serial console and rely on working display output). Some boards do not even enable DM, these are candidates to drop.
It's a tough call. I think just disabling video support, and CC'ing the maintainer is fine. That should cause one of: - Maintainer says they'll get to converting, does so. - Maintainer says they don't want to maintain the platform anymore (see mx23evk for example). - Maintainer email bounces.
In the latter case we can (or rather, let me know, I will..) do a removal patch.
