Power Controller code is not gonna be using this SRAM, it has its own RAM. This memory is gonna be split between various functional features like IPC, OPTEE integration, we already have the Boot Monitor code using this. We will have the memory split by either having static child nodes or drivers requesting the memory using gen_pool API. regards Suman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
