Hi, So what is the verdict on this patch?

I submitted this fix to make sure UFS don't map and crash on it, which
I have seen happening occassionaly on db845c and Caleb reported
similar issues on his sdm845 device iirc. I should have probably put
that in my commit message as well.

So the memory _is_ being used by ... continuous splash on an Android
image, i.e. your Android ? limited to Android - image continues on with
the splash but other blocks erroneously reuse the memory then, UFS as an
example ?

Hi Bryan,

Yes UFS (reported only on v5.10) tries to map this reserved memory and
system crash and reboot. Plan is to backport this patch to v5.10.y.

Personally I'm fine with this patch on the proviso we somehow associate it the memory MDP - even if its just a comment in the dts with the MDP.

i.e. if we run headless we want to be able to use that RAM for something.

A dts comment would do
