[PATCH] of: of_reserved_mem: Increase limit on number of reserved regions

[Isaac J. Manjarres]

From: Patrick Daly <pdaly@codeaurora.org>

Certain SoCs need to support a large amount of reserved memory
regions. For example, Qualcomm's SM8150 SoC requires that 20
regions of memory be reserved for a variety of reasons (e.g.
loading a peripheral subsystem's firmware image into a
particular space).

When adding more reserved memory regions to cater to different
usecases, the remaining number of reserved memory regions--12
to be exact--becomes too small. Thus, double the existing
limit of reserved memory regions.

Thanks for your patch!

This increases the size of reserved_mem[] by 896 (32-bit), 1280 (32-bit LPAE),
or 1792 (64-bit) bytes. While some systems don't need reserved memory
regions at all, and may be RAM-limited.

Perhaps this array can be replaced by some dynamically increasing
structure?
