What is a Designated Movable Block? This patch needs to stand on its
own.
As noted in my reply to your [PATCH 00/21] comment, my intention in submitting the entire patch set (and specifically PATCH 00/21]) was to communicate this context. Now that I believe I understand that only this patch should have been submitted to the devicetree-spec mailing list, I will strive harder to make it more self contained.


Why does this belong or need to be in DT?
While my preferred method of declaring Designated Movable Blocks is through the movablecore kernel parameter, I can conceive that others may wish to take advantage of the reserved-memory DT nodes. In particular, it has the advantage that a device can claim ownership of the reserved-memory via device tree, which is something that has yet to be implemented for DMBs defined with movablecore.

Don't put Linuxisms into bindings.
I will avoid ZONE_MOVABLE if this commit is included in V2 of this patch set.
