The Devicetree specification skips over handling of a logical view of the memory map, pointing users to the UEFI specification.
It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted. Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces.
Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form.
This aims to provide an small schema addition for this mapping.
For now, no attempt is made to create an exhaustive binding, so there are some example types listed. More can be added later.
The compatible string is not included, since the node name is enough to indicate the purpose of a node, as per the existing reserved-memory schema.
This binding does not include a binding for the memory 'attribute' property, defined by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.GetMemoryMap(). It may be useful to have that as well, but perhaps not as a bit mask.

Changes in v5: - Drop the memory-map node (should have done that in v4) - Tidy up schema a bit
Changes in v4: - Make use of the reserved-memory node instead of creating a new one
Changes in v3: - Reword commit message again - cc a lot more people, from the FFI patch - Split out the attributes into the /memory nodes
Changes in v2: - Reword commit message
