Yup, memblock can print out the address with _RET_IP_when the debug is on. In our case, the _RET_IP_ will be early_init_dt_reserve_memory_arch so it's not useful to find the memory owner.

I thought that is also why nomap and prop values are using of_get_flat_dt_prop() to get the property content in fdt_init_reserved_mem() as well. Another thing is we should use pr_info() to print them out as they are not the debug information. They're the memory layout we really want to know during the boot. Please let me know if there are any concerns. If not, I'll send a V2 patch. Thanks. Martin > > Rob
