The reserved memory nodes are not assigned to platform devices by
default in the driver core to avoid the lookup for every platform
device and incur a penalty as the real users are expected to be
only a few devices.
OMAP remoteproc devices fall into the above category and the OMAP
remoteproc driver _requires_ specific CMA pools to be assigned
for each device at the moment to align on the location of the
vrings and vring buffers in the RTOS-side firmware images. So,
Requires only at the moment due to firmware..
This sounds like some firmware images hard-coded their vring addresses
instead of getting them dynamically as they should and we are hacking
around that on the kernel side by giving them the addresses they use as
carveouts.
The firmwares are built on specific device addresses, this includes data
+ code.
Should we rather make use of the IOMMU attached to the DSP to map any
kernel address to the DSP where the firmware expects it? Or better yet
fixup the firmwares.
Well, we do use IOMMU to map the corresponding memory area to specific
device address. What this patch does, is to allocate a contiguous memory
area for the remoteproc shared memories. Using completely random memory
location would potentially fragment the remoteproc memory around page
boundaries, resulting in a complex (read ineffective) IOMMU mapping.
Also, we are going to need the reserved memory mechanism for the
remoteproc anyways later, as we are going to introduce the support for
early-boot / late-attach. Bootloader would pass the used memory regions
to the kernel via the reserved memory nodes in that case (unless we
assume to use some hardcoded region, which would be worse than passing
it via DT.)

DRAM carveouts should be a last resort used only for when hardware
really requires it.

use the of_reserved_mem_device_init/release() API appropriately
to assign the corresponding reserved memory region to the OMAP
remoteproc device. Note that only one region per device is
allowed by the framework.
