Subject: drop second/last, redundant "binding". The "dt-bindings" prefix

So what exactly can be here reserved dynamically? And what does it mean
'dynamically'? By whom? How is this property of hardware (not OS)?

There is no such property. You cannot require it.

I was thinking, since this size is part reserved-memory.yaml and
we have

Is your comment still applies?

Any reason in naming it differently then existing one? You have there
example.
