[PATCH 04/11] accel: ethosu: Ensure SRAM size is 0 on mapping failure

From: Rob Herring (Arm)

Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 16:33:52 EST


On a mapping failure of the SRAM, the SRAM size is left as non-zero. The
probe will succeed as the error return is not checked since having SRAM is
not a hard requirement. The non-zero size allows jobs to access SRAM which
is left pointing to physical base address 0x0.
