The approach itself is fine, but I believe there is no reason to use fdt
there. My recommendation is to follow the method used to map SYSRAMs in
patch "b3205dea8f ARM: EXYNOS: Map SYSRAM through generic DT bindings"
and taking into account patch "b87abf7deb ARM: exynos: move sysram info
to exynos.c", which moves things around source files.

I have another proposal, basically something I already proposed in
review of one of previous versions of this series. I will send a patch
as a reply to this message.

Most of the patches have already received my reviewed-by tag. I'm
generally hesitating to review remaining ones, because the general
architecture will be quite different after changing things mentioned
above. However let me see and try to point issues I can find.

Best regards,
Tomasz
