Yes I did check the internal kernel, it would appear to be wrong there as
well. One of the joys of mailing list code review I guess :-)

Yes it is DDR

Nope. The st231 audio and video firmwares are provided by ST as binary blobs and
aren't AFAIK compiled as position independent code. So the reserved-memory region
needs to match where the firmware has been linked to run from.

I don't have any scripts, firmware source code or even a st200 toolset.

Ok I will ping Ludovic and point him at this thread.
I think maybe the internal kernel rproc driver was only used to reserve memory,
manage clocks, and co-processor reset / power lines, and multicom actually
loaded the firmware elf file.
The reason for coming to that conclusion is that if rproc driver was loading the
firmware I can't see how you would end up with a correctly booted co-processor
with a reserved-memory node which doesn't match up with where the firmware is linked to
run from.
Did you manage to boot audio or video co-pro successfully with the dt nodes as
they currently are in this patch?
regards,
Peter.
