Another strange QCom binding...

Is said shared memory described in DT. If so, this should be a child 
node. Only 8 bytes seems kind of fine grained for putting in DT when it 
could be implied by the parent shared memory node.

The table may change, but does the presence of it or shared memory 
location (of the pointer) change?
