[RFC PATCH 0/2] Update reserved memory for simple framebuffer

Reserved memory for simple frame buffer should be created in a different way:
+ aliases { + display0 = &lcdif; + }; + + reserved-memory { + #address-cells = <1>; + #size-cells = <1>; + ranges; + + display_reserved: framebuffer@86fa2000 { + reg = <0x86fa2000 0x80000>; + no-map; + }; + + };
We add a function to change the loaded dts and inject those information. I have added another patch for meson. Right now I'm testing on tinker-s board
Michael Trimarchi (2): common: fdt: Add a function for reserving memory without kernel linear mapping video: meson: Use reserving memory function without kernel linear mapping

We need to reserve memory and not put in kernel linear mapping. This avoid problem during memory remapping from the simple frame buffer in linux kernel

Memory reserved for the simple framebuffer should not be used and part of memory linear mapping

Is there a binding file for this? Please add it to a patch.

This is an example how to use it. I need to repost it. There is a compilation issue later. I need only to have some feedback from Neil because I can not test this board

Will fix. There are few things that I need to change here because sunxi, meson use simpleframe buffer but they have some code duplication
