We're not changing the binding, the memory region for the "AOSS QMP"
thing was never larger than 0x400.

0x100000 is the size of all the AOSS "msg_ram" regions. We don't have
this whole thing described in a binding and we don't have an
implementation for the whole thing.

If we're going for that we'd need to extend the binding to indicate
which of the msg_ram regions are used for APSS QMP and for debug stats
on particular platform (either by compatible, explicit properties or as
some subnodes).


That said, as I looked into my other objection, for the RPM
(non-hardened) case it seems that we're actually describing the RPM
region. So there it would make sense to describe it as such in DT - but
we don't have any other code (that I'm aware of) that would implement
the "qcom,<platform>-rpm".
