This is making a strong assumption about the size of the FW memory
region, which in practice is not always true (I had to reduce it to
5MB). How about having this as a member of venus_core, which is

Why you reduced to 5MB? Is there an issue with 6MB or you don't want to
waste reserved memory?

initialized in venus_load_fw() from the actual size of the memory
region? You could do this as an extra patch that comes before this
one.

I would go with existing design than relying on the size specified in the
memory-region for venus. size loaded is always taken from DT while the
VENUS_FW_MEM_SIZE serves the purpose of sanity check.

The size is 6MB by historical reasons and they are no more valid, so I
think we could safely decrease to 5MB. I could prepare a patch for that.

Thanks Stan. Initial patch in this series had 5MB. We discussed earlier to keep
it as is and take it as a separate patch to update from 6MB to 5MB.
