Some SoCs need parts of their sram for special purposes. So while being part
of the peripheral, it should not be part of the genpool controlling the sram.

Therefore add an option mmio-sram-reserved to keep arbitrary portions of the
sram from general usage.

I guess you're talking about "[PATCH v2 0/5] reserved-memory regions/CMA in 
devicetree, again", right?

In general I'm all for commonality :-). So I guess you mean it to look 
something like the following:

	sram: sram@10080000 {
		compatible = "rockchip,rk3066-sram", "mmio-sram";
		reg = <0x10080000 0x8000>;

		reserved-memory {
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <1>;

			smp@200 {
				/* hmm, relative or absolute, aka 0x200 or 0x10080200? */
				reg = <0x200 0x50>;
			};
		};
	};

As it looks like only a slight modification of my "parsing" code this should be 
doable. Do you suggest more changes to the example above?
