In the olden days the Qualcomm shared memory (SMEM) region consisted of
multiple chunks of memory, so SMEM was described as a standalone node
with references to its various memory regions.

But practically all modern Qualcomm platforms has a single reserved memory
region used for SMEM. So rather than having to use two nodes to describe
the one SMEM region, update the binding to allow the reserved-memory
region alone to describe SMEM.

The olden format is preserved as valid, as this is widely used already.

I think this is a good opportunity to make a decision which node name
should be used here. :)

You use smem@ here but mentioned before that you think using the generic
memory@ would be better [1]. And you use memory@ in PATCH 3/3:

-		smem_mem: memory@86000000 {
+		memory@86000000 {
+			compatible = "qcom,smem";
 			reg = <0x0 0x86000000 0 0x200000>;
 			no-map;
+			hwlocks = <&tcsr_mutex 3>;
 		};

However, if you would use memory@ as example in this DT schema,
Rob's bot would complain with the same error that I mentioned earlier [2]:

soc/qcom/qcom,smem.example.dt.yaml: memory@fa00000: 'device_type' is a required property
        From schema: dtschema/schemas/memory.yaml

We should either fix the error when using memory@ or start using some
different node name (Stephen Boyd suggested shared-memory@ for example).
Otherwise we'll just keep introducing more and more dtbs_check errors
for the Qualcomm device trees.

Thanks,
Stephan

My bot found errors running 'make DT_CHECKER_FLAGS=-m dt_binding_check'
on your patch (DT_CHECKER_FLAGS is new in v5.13):

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/qcom/qcom,smem.example.dt.yaml:0:0: /example-1/soc/sram@fc428000: failed to match any schema with compatible: ['qcom,rpm-msg-ram']

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1533702

This check can fail if there are any dependencies. The base for a patch
series is generally the most recent rc1.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit.

reserved-memory node names are kind of a mess, so I haven't tried for
any standard... It needs to be solved globally.

A different node name. A node name should only have 1 meaning and
'memory' is already defined.

The main issue here is what to name nodes with only a size and no address.

I'd be happy to paint the shed any color you decide :)

That said, the binding itself doesn't mandate any node name, so it's
just the example here that would be "wrong" - and just as wrong as it
currently is.

This particular node has both address and size (as does all of the other
reserved-memory regions we use upstream today)...

I didn't ask for it to be painted. Unless it is for everyone, I don't
care unless there's some clear pattern used already.

The example is right. The dts is wrong.

Perhaps we need a schema for 'any node name that doesn't match already
defined ones'.

I'm not talking about *just* QCom. If we define something here, it's
got to cover everyone.

In summary, you can't use 'memory' or anything other established,
standard node name.

As Stephan indicated, I feel that I'll set precedence when I change
"memory" -> "smem" in the last patch.

But I can't both not paint the node and resolve the fact that the dts is
wrong. So which one should I go with?

Should we leave the node name as is until we've decided what to do with
the reserved-memory children? Or should I start accepting patches that
changes "memory" to a list of non-generic names?

I know that "memory" is wrong, but I'm not sure about what you're asking
me to do.
