drivers/misc/sram.c is a pretty generic-sounding thing.  Is it really
Linux's One True SRAM driver?  How many different sorts of sram devices
do we expect this can be used with?  If I don't use DT?

In other words, perhaps this should have a more specific and accurate
name?

EADDRNOTAVAIL is a networking error.  If your users see this error pop
up on their console they'll start wiggling ethernet cables, wondering
why that didn't fix it.

Why is it postcore_initcall()?


Fixlets:

From: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org>
Subject: misc-generic-on-chip-sram-allocation-driver-fix

fix Kconfig text, make sram_init static
