    ARM: dts: meson8: add reserved memory zones · 8a7f0c52
    Martin Blumenstingl authored
    There seem to be two memory regions that need to be reserved, otherwise
    the system just hangs when running:
    $ stress --vm-bytes $(awk '/MemFree/{printf "%d\n", $2 * 0.9;}' < /proc/meminfo)k \
      --vm-keep -m 1
    
    The first memory region is really crucial and without it the system
    hangs. I could not find any references to this in Amlogic's GPL kernel
    sources.
    The second region is used by the "suspend firmware". The u-boot sources
    (/arch/arm/cpu/aml_meson/m8/firmwareld.c) state that the suspend
    firmware is located at "64M + 15M" which matches CONFIG_MESON_SUSPEND in
    the Amlogic GPL kernel sources. The "suspend firmware" is responsible
    for waking up the system from suspend state.
    
    This also fixes reading the full SD card as without this the system
    would simply hang (probably related to the first memory region, if some
    buffer is allocated there).
