[PATCH v3] arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845-db845c: Mark cont splash memory region as reserved

From: Amit Pundir
Date: Fri Jun 16 2023 - 02:51:35 EST


Adding a reserved memory region for the framebuffer memory
(the splash memory region set up by the bootloader).

Signed-off-by: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@xxxxxxxxxx>

v3: Point this reserved region to MDSS.

v2: Updated commit message.

There was some dicussion on v1 but it didn't go anywhere,
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20230124182857.1524912-1-amit.pundir@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u.
The general consensus is that this memory should be freed and be
made resuable but that (releasing this piece of memory) has been
tried before and it is not trivial to return the reserved memory
node to the system RAM pool in this case.
