Hi,

The Keystone 2 family of SoCs have an on-chip RAM called the
Multicore Shared Memory (MSM) RAM. This RAM is accessible through
the Multicore Shared Memory Controller (MSMC). This series represents
these on-chip RAMs as sram nodes so that the memory allocations
can be managed by the in-kernel mmio-sram driver.

The first 4 patches adds the basic SRAM nodes on each of the SoCs,
and the last patch enables the generic on-chip SRAM driver for
keystone defconfig.

The series looks good in general but I would like to understand
the users of this memory in kernel. Is that going to be posted
as a follow up patch ? Is the Power controller going to make
use of this SRAM for PM code ?
