Subject: [PATCH] staging: bcm2835-camera: Add hint about possible
 faulty GPU mem config

As per default the GPU memory config of the Raspberry Pi isn't sufficient
for the camera usage. Even worse the bcm2835 camera doesn't provide a
helpful error message in this case. So let's add a hint to point the user
to the likely cause.
