Technically, this patch is correct. However, I'm afraid that a future change at
videobuf_dma_init could cause a breakage. IMO, if we do such change, the better
would be to split videobuf_dma_init into two functions or to add a comment at
the code warning that this should match the init done at videobuf_dma_init.
