[PATCH] dt-bindings: mfd: Document smp-memram subnode for aspeed,ast2x00-scu

From: Andrew Jeffery

Date: Fri Jan 09 2026 - 01:35:45 EST


The platform initialisation code for the AST2600 implements the custom
SMP bringup protocol, and searches for the relevant compatible. As a
consequence, define the requisite node and the compatible string, which
in-turn tidies up the dtb check results.

Hello,

This change was original part of an RFC series tidying up the AST2600
EVB devicetree at [1]. Many of those ended up being merged directly, so
I'm splitting out what remains into separate, smaller series.

Please review.

Changes since RFC:
- Address the warning from Rob's bot
- Tidy a description line that was dropped unnecessarily
- Remove RFC label
