Yes, it can be described. But, the location should always be read from the address above. Generally, the CMD DB memory would not change, but it is not always guaranteed.
If not it would seem unlikely that there's a 8 byte carveout in the middle of DDR, what else is here?+ }; + }; + + qcom,cmd-db@c3f000c { + compatible = "qcom,cmd-db";Add "qcom,cmd-db" to "reserved_mem_matches" in drivers/of/platform.c, use of_reserved_mem_lookup(pdev->dev.of_node) to get the reserved_mem and you can just put the compatible directly on the reserved-memory node. That way you don't need this separate node that doesn't really represent anything.
Oh okay. I can take care of that. Thanks, Lina
