On Hi6220, below memory regions in DDR have specific purpose:

  0x05e0,0000 - 0x05ef,ffff: For MCU firmware using at runtime;
  0x06df,f000 - 0x06df,ffff: For mailbox message data;
  0x0740,f000 - 0x0740,ffff: For MCU firmware's section;
  0x3e00,0000 - 0x3fff,ffff: For OP-TEE.

This patch reserves these memory regions in DT.

Why does memreserve not work for you? You can have multiple entries.

No, don't do this. Please use memreserve or reserved-memory binding[1]
or combination of both. Probably reserved-memory if you need the
kernel to access some of these regions.

I disagree at least for those portions owned by the secure world. The
kernel shouldn't map those at all, so memreserve isn't appropriate. That
covers OP-TEE and the MCU firmware regions, and I'd expec the EFI memory
map to not list those as available to the kernel.

For the mailbox memory reserved-memory should be OK.

Thanks,
Mark.

I'm fine carving out the beginning or end, but otherwise think memory
should correspond to the physical memory. We have a way to describe
holes to keep out, so we should use them. If secure world uses the DT,
then it would either want to know its region in memory or add the DT
data to say what it is using. We need that to be easy to find or easy
to set, respectively. The size secure world needs could vary as well.

The fact that the kernel maps the memory is the kernel's problem, not
a DT problem.

That only gets us from 4 regions to 3.

Just give more input here. In previous time, we have long discussion [1];
So actually your suggestion is exactly same what my old patch.

From previous discussion, i think here have an assumtion: Use UEFI as
bootloader, the kernel will ignore (or remove) memreserve and reserved-memory
nodes, so just like Mark said "the EFI memory map to not list those
as available to the kernel". My new patch is just to follow this and
also make sure they have same behavior for different bootloader
(between UEFI and uboot).
