Hi
Let me explain more.

In this case, the intially passed memory starts from 0000000081960000 so memblock/memory shows as it is.

# xxd -g 8 /proc/device-tree/memory/reg
00000000: 0000000081960000 00000000000a0000 ................
00000010: 0000000081a40000 00000000001c0000 ................

# cat sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory
0: 0x0000000081960000..0x00000000819fffff 0 NONE
1: 0x0000000081a40000..0x0000000081bfffff 0 NONE

# cat sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved
0: 0x0000000082800000..0x00000000847fffff 0 NONE

The memblock information in the kernel log may report like it allocated those memblock regions, as there was not overlapped even though it is already no-map.

(I removed the name.)
<6>[ 0.000000][ T0] OF: reserved mem: 0x0000000080000000..0x0000000080dfffff (14336 KiB) nomap non-reusable AAA
<6>[ 0.000000][ T0] OF: reserved mem: 0x0000000080e00000..0x00000000811fffff (4096 KiB) nomap non-reusable BBB

So a smart parser should combine the krenel log and the memblock/memory log.

In my memsize feature shows it like this though.

0x0000000081400000-0x0000000081960000 0x00560000 ( 5504 KB ) nomap unusable unknown
