libcamera: raspberrypi: Document vc_sm_cma pointer sharing with IPA
Sharing a pointer with the IPA is fragile as it will not work with all IPC mechanisms. Document that it's a temporary workaround that should be reworked. Signed-off-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund@ragnatech.se> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
