 Finally, omxplayer works fine on -current kernel without any tricks!!
 
 According to this thread in official RPI repository in github,
 
 https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/763
 
 when v3d, hdmi, pixelvalve, or hvs are enabled in FDT blog, firmware
 turns off GPU functionality of VideoCore, expecting OS drivers control
 it appropriately.
 
 Therefore, these features are explicitly disabled in *.dtb, till we
 add drivers for them (hdmi is already turned off in our DTS):

 With this patch, omxplayer works fine on Raspberry Pi 3B. And
 everything including genfb and X also works fine as before.
 
 OK to commit this fix?
