In order to support framebuffers residing in system memory, allow the
memory-region property to override the framebuffer memory specification
in the "reg" property.

What happens if both properties are present and they disagree with each other?

I understand that the framebuffer is behind 'memory-region', but does 'reg' still contain device memory? Do we need to acquire ownership from within the driver?

Best regards
Thomas
