Hi,

u-boot adds reserve-memory node, if it's missing, with following properties:

Yes, this is expected in this case, the Allwinner A64 SoC has its memory map (including DRAM) completely below 4GB, hence the root node can go with 1/1.
ranges; }But with these default address-cells and size-cells values, pstore isn't working on A64. Root node for A64 defines 'address-cells' and 'size-cells' as 1. dtc complains if reserved-memory has different address-cells and size-cells.Warning (ranges_format): /reserved-memory:ranges: empty "ranges" property but its #address-cells (2) differs from / (1)I cannot find any such requirement in the Devicetree Specification 1.4. Is this a dtc bug?
I think the culprit here is the *empty* ranges property: "If the property is defined with an <empty> value, it specifies that the parent and child address space is identical, and no address translation is required." As this is contradicted by the differing #a-c/#s-z properties, it looks like dtc has good reasons to warn.
This patch takes into account address-cells and size-cells of the root node and uses them as values for new reserved-memory node.Reservations may be above 4 GiB. How does your patch consider this?
If the root #a-c/#s-c don't allow for more than 4GB, then it's for a reason (in this case, the A64 being 32-bit only, even with AArch64 capable cores), and keeping it isn't restricting it further. So I think copying the root properties is the right thing to do. I think almost every other 64-bit core uses 2/2 anyway, so it's just the odd outlier here.
Cheers, Andre
