Hi, last time I posted was a bit close to the merge window, so I'm
reposting now. Greg, Arnd, could you take the first two patches?

These patches add support to configure on-chip SRAM via device-tree
node or platform data and to obtain the resulting genalloc pool from
the struct device pointer or a phandle pointing at the device tree node.
This allows drivers to allocate SRAM with the genalloc API without
hard-coding the genalloc pool pointer.

The on-chip SRAM on i.MX53 and i.MX6q can be registered via device tree
and changed to use the simple generic SRAM driver:

		ocram: ocram@00900000 {
			compatible = "fsl,imx-ocram", "mmio-sram";
			reg = <0x00900000 0x3f000>;
 		};

A driver that needs to allocate SRAM buffers, like the video processing
unit on i.MX53, can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle in the
device tree using of_get_named_gen_pool(node, "iram", 0) from patch 1:

		vpu@63ff4000 {
			/* ... */
			iram = <&ocram>;
 		};

Changes since v8:
 - The sram driver now matches against the "mmio-sram" compatible string.
 - Removed a whitespace error in the device tree binding documentation.

regards
Philipp
