That seems to imply that it's used for something other than ADSP, but
the size is strange.

The removed-dma-pool is a downstream construct, the important part is
no-map;

This problem does come up from time to time and I have a similar problem
with getting the IPA driver to probe on my SDM850 laptop, because the
sdm845.dtsi reserved-memory regions isn't accepted.

So I think we should move (most of?) the reserved-memory regions from
sdm845.dtsi into the individual device dts files - given that it
obviously differs between different devices.


I'm okay with your plan, but please add a TODO comment here describing
that this is needed to boot the device, that you know it is overlapping
with other regions and that the memory map needs more work for this
device.

Thanks,
