And we've increased the size of the memory carve-out since then,
because the memory requirements depend on the SW features you're using
on the modem side.

So that's definitely a reason for giving it a label we can modify it
with, at a minimum (as Doug suggested). I'm somewhat ambivalent as to
whether this should or shouldn't go in the base sdm845.dtsi -- it's
still a feature where most of the definitions (e.g., compatible;
client ID) should be applicable to all boards.
