Hi Sergei,

A few more small comments.

Thanks for the updates. This patch looks pretty good to me.

Are these region types pretty static for this type of hardware? If not,
it helps to have a reg-names property in the DT, when there are 2 or
more register resources.

I'm curious: your driver doesn't actually utilize this binding. Is this
intentional? Is it actually optional? (I note that the example DT below
doesn't have this property...)

I can't take the defconfig update via MTD; it will need to go via the
appropriate ARM tree (arm-soc?). So this hunk needs to move to another
patch.

Does this of_match_device() serve any particular purpose? Your driver
already matches against these IDs, and you're not actually retrieving
any of-data from the match, so this looks redundant.

Are you absolutely sure there is only ever a single SRAM device on a
given system? Because otherwise, you will get redundantly-named MTD's.
If the answer is no, you might consider a unique naming scheme.
