(the splash memory region set up by the bootloader).

v5: Re-sending with updated dt-bindings patch in mdss-common
schema.
v4: Re-sending this along with a new dt-bindings patch to
document memory-region property in qcom,sdm845-mdss
schema and keep dtbs_check happy.
v3: Point this reserved region to MDSS.
v2: Updated commit message.
There was some dicussion on v1 but it didn't go anywhere,

The general consensus is that this memory should be freed and be
made resuable but that (releasing this piece of memory) has been
tried before and it is not trivial to return the reserved memory
node to the system RAM pool in this case.
