Sorry, I'm having difficulty understanding this.
We have the WiFi node at ab->dev->of_node, but we don't have a node for the reserved-memory
'q6-region'. The of_reserved_mem_lookup() function requires the device node for 'q6-region'.

Could you please suggest how we can use of_reserved_mem_lookup() without obtaining the
'q6-region' node first.
