Based on the recent discussion in the linux-arm-msm list[1], it is not
appropriate to define the IMEM (On-Chip SRAM) as syscon or MFD. Since
there are no consumers of this compatible, drop it and move to
mmio-sram.

While at it, add a comment to not to extend the list and move towards
mmio-sram.

And where is qcom,ipq5424-imem added? This is supposed to be one patch.

Kindly excuse for the delay in the response as I was out of work.

This is supposed to be added in the sram.yaml binding, but I haven't completed that yet. Between Konrad has done some rework [1] on removing the imem.yaml and combined with sram.yaml (in his dev tree). So I hope it will be taken care along with that.

Konrad, Can you help to share the plan on when the patches will be posted for review? It will be helpful for reviving my other series[2] and obviously yours too :)

Let's get an answer on the Kaanapali thread and go from there

Yeah, I'm also waiting for the conclusion on the thread.
