The firmware provides all the ranges which are available and usable,
that's the hardware description and that should be in the DT. The
firmware cannot decide the policy for the next stage (Linux in this
case) on which ranges are better to use for Linux and which are less
good. Linux can then decide which ranges are best suited for it and
ignore the other ones.
