[PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: kodiak: avoid EFI overlap for ADSP remote heap

From: Jianping Li

Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 02:35:22 EST


On KODIAK platforms boot can fail when the DT "adsp-rpc-remote-heap"
reserved-memory region overlaps with firmware allocations (UEFI/EFI
runtime). The kernel then reports failure to reserve the region and
subsequent EFI runtime activity may trigger aborts.

The remote heap node was described as a fixed "no-map" region, which
turns it into a hard carveout. Replace it with a "shared-dma-pool"
reserved memory region with reusable CMA-backed allocation, specifying
alignment and size.

This avoids hard carveouts and reduces the chance of conflicting with
firmware memory maps while keeping an explicit pool for ADSP remote
heap usage.
