[PATCH v2 0/2] android: colibri_imx7: reserve DDR memory for Cortex-M4

i.MX 7's Cortex-M4 core can run from DDR and uses DDR memory for the rpmsg communication. Both use cases need a fixed location of memory reserved. For the rpmsg use case the reserved area needs to be in sync with the kernel's hardcoded vring descriptor location.
Introduce support for adding linux,usable-memory property to carve out 1MB of memory in case the M4 core is running. Also make sure that the i.MX 7 specific rpmsg driver does not get loaded in case we do not carve out memory.
v2: - fixed build where CONFIG_ARCH_FIXUP_FDT_MEMORY is not set.

Add support for setting linux,usable-memory property in the memory node of device tree for the kernel [1].
This property holds a base address and size, describing a limited region in which memory may be considered available for use by the kernel. Memory outside of this range is not available for use.

Isn't this same/similar to fdt_add_mem_rsv() ?

I would say they are opposite :) - linux,usable-memory property let the kernel be aware about all the memory he can use. - memreserve - what memory to exclude.
I think both should be helpful.

Thanks
