This patch indeed increases the binary size, like for example
barebox-zii-vf610-dev.img from 743788 bytes to 790858 bytes.
However, the enabled video options are only responsible for a small
fraction of it. With disabling the video options again the image
size shrinks to 788738 bytes.

I've always seen the imx_*_defconfig files as mostly full featured
configs to get good compile coverage and a barebox that just works
for as many cases as possible. From that perspective I think it's ok
to add more options.
