I don't see any code actually implementing the default-contiguous-region binding. Currently on ARM systems we will still setup the default region based on the Kconfig. Is this intentional?

Nope, this was my fault. I've missed the fixup which added support for
default-contiguous-region (it was just a few lines more to cma_fdt_scan()
function).

Right, lack of another fixup. It looks that I posted an incomplete version, I'm sorry. I hurried that time (it was my last day in the office before going for holidays).

This scheme of associating devices with CMA regions by base does not work if you want to let CMA figure out where to place the region (base = 0). Can we use the name to associate the device with the region? I had been working on something similar internally and that was the only solution I had come up with to associate arbitrary CMA nodes with devices.

Right, support for base = 0 requires different handling, but I thought that if we use the device tree approach, the designer already knows the complete memory
configuration, so providing the correct base address is not that hard.
