This is called "syscon" in the code and the example.

Something less hand-wavy, like: "Should list the memory regions for the
remoteproc"

Make this comment define which memory regions are required for each of
the systems.

There's no reason to list the actual regions in the binding
document. Just list the requires regions for each system.

This is a source of future issues as this indicates that I should have
reg-names list "ddr" twice.

Also, as you warn about the user needing to pick the values for "ddr",
does that mean that it's a carveout of System RAM?

imx7d-rproc@80000000 {

And there's currently no reason to label this node.
