A better way to do this would be to reference the memory region, like
what's shown in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt

just reference the phandle of the memory region.

seeing as these are per chip, why not just have something linking
together chip-id and the IMC layout node?
