I don't believe these reserved memory ranges are correct for audio_reserved and dmu_reserved.

For example my vid_firmware-stih407.elf is linked at 0x41c00000 base address and my
audio_firmware-bd-stih407.elf is linked at 0x40c00000.

So with all the st231 rproc nodes enabled I guess it would still work. But
currently I think st231_gp0 is reserving the memory region for st231_audio,
and st231-gp1 is reserving the memory region for st231_dmu.

Peter.
