Would this cause things in the kernel to automatically start using SRAM found in device-tree, or would each use need to be added explicitly? I'm just wondering if we might start seeing new bugs caused by firmware using SRAM for special purposes but that memory not being properly reserved or hidden from the kernel. -- Tixy
