Yes, a memory range defined by hardware or firmware is within scope of DT. (CMA at aribitrary address was questionable.) My issue here is more that 'secure video memory' is not any way Mediatek specific. AIUI, it's a requirement from certain content providers for video playback to work. So why the Mediatek specific binding? Rob
