Node names don't have underscores. It really feels like we should be able
to get away with not having this device node at all. Why can't we have
the rpm message ram be a node that covers the entire range and then have
that either create a platform device for debugfs stats or just have it
register the stat information from whatever driver attaches to that
node?

Carving this up into multiple nodes and making compatible strings
doesn't seem very useful here because we're essentially making device
nodes in DT for logical software components that exist in the rpm
message ram.
