You seem to be double-mapping, first just above to supply the va to
mem_entry_init and then through the alloc function.

This is DT parsing and is fixed irrespective of firmware and only needs
to be done once really in the platform driver probe. I think this whole
logic is unnecessarily complicated in the name of letting the remoteproc
core handle the alloc and free for fixed memory carveouts during every
boot and shutdown, and having to redo the mapping everytime during the
firmware parse. I am not a big fan of overloading the parse_fw to do
this runtime remapping everytime for something that should have been
done once. I think you have done this in your v2, and somewhere along in
v3 got modified into this.
