stand, the arm-soc maintainers want to reduce (and perhaps >even eliminate) these board-specific constructs, and try to utilize common driver-code that resides in the "driver" folder. I can vouch for the syscon/regmap framework as something which would enable the effort. Thanks, Marc C On

SoC to have a discontiguous memory-mapping, where a designer chooses not to populate physical DRAM in the middle. The 'reg' property was broken-up to have each chunk of memory given a dedicated memblock. All that said, if you like, I can rework the patch as you've suggested. Thanks, M
