Is this an ION DT binding in disguise? I thought I killed that. ;)

Why the indirection here? Can't you just add a flag property to
reserved-memory nodes like we do to flag CMA nodes?

As I suspected, it's because in patch 2 you're just abusing DT to
instantiate platform devices. We already support binding drivers to
reserved-memory nodes directly.

Maybe? I may not have been paying attention back then.  :)

Happy to try. Do you mean like with the "reuasable" tag?  Or more like
the "linux,cma-default" tag?

Do you have a preference for the flag name here?

Sorry, one of those "when all you know how to do is hammer, everything
looks like a nail" issues.
Is there a specific example for binding drivers to reserved-memory
nodes I can try to follow?

Appreciate the review and feedback!

thanks

Probably like "linux,cma-default" as it is a hint for who to manage it 
rather than a characteristic of the region.

Not really.

ramoops and I think there's a QCom driver.
