The DT layout of our board only has 5MB reserved for Venus.

Whether we settle with 6MB or 5MB, that size remains arbitrary and not
based on the actual firmware size. And __qcom_mdt_load() does check
that the firmware fits the memory area. So I don't understand what
extra safety is added by ensuring the memory region is larger than a
given number of megabytes?
