This location is fixed and it is not expected to change between
different boards. OEMs may change the actual address of the command db
location, but would not change the dictionary location.

It would be incorrect and very board specific to just use the 0x85fe000
as the address. It is not how the SoC defines the location. Upon request
earlier, this memory location was added in DT and the location is
typical reference platform usage only.
