Yes, please drop this - it is a horrible hack and it's already quite
disappointing that we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future.
So I assume the purpose of this is to protect the first 128k of DRAM
to be protected from being overwritten by the decompressor?
It would be best to move this reserved region elsewhere, but I can
understand that this is no longer an option. So the alternatives are
- omit this window from the /memory node, and rely on Geert's recent
decompressor changes which make it discover the usable memory from the
DT, or
- better would be to use a /memreserve/ here (which you may already
have?), and teach the newly added decompressor code to take those into
account when choosing the target window for decompressing the kernel.
