Limiting the scope of the product to a particular use-case (720p or 1080p video playback) will be part of firmware mostly OTP-ed in the SoC. Firmware author could decide the amount of CMA memory needed and put this as part of DT.
What kernel developer would want a firmware author deciding how much memory is needed? It is not a decision that can be made without knowledge of the OS. While the frame size could be determined easily enough based on resolution, the number of buffers needed cannot.
