for at91sam9, ls1021aqds, ls1021atwr, mx6sxsabresd, mx7dsabresd and many
sunxi boards DM_VIDEO conversion is missing.

nokia_rx51 has DM disabled, so this is a bigger problem. And CONFIG_VIDEO
can be disabled for nokia_rx51 if we remove CFB_CONSOLE CONFIG_VIDEO
dependency in Kconfig, it seems. This board doesn't use display controller
driver, it just configures fixed frame buffer address for CFB_CONSOLE.

No DM yet: mx23evk, sansa_fuze_plus, xfi3

for many sunxi variants DM_VIDEO conversion is missing. Jagan did
a patch [1], but there are some simplefb related issues with it.
