The following update will be applied to this point:
1. Firmware related regions which aren't shared with kernel.
Firmware regions which the kernel doesn't need to know about which
are not included in the EFI provided memory map.

The following update will be applied to this point:
2. Firmware related memory regions which are shared with Kernel
Firmware regions the kernel does need to know about, which are described
in the reserved-memory node.

This will be removed from its current position.

This point will do the following update:
3. Remoteproc regions
Remoteproc regions will be reserved and then assigned to subsystem
firmware later.
Remoteproc regions can be loaded either in a fixed form or in a
relocatable form, depending on the platform.

Your previous suggestion will be incorporated here as follows:
Unlike previous platforms, QCS8550 boots using EFI and describes most
reserved regions in the ESRT memory map. As a result, reserved memory
regions which aren't relevant to the kernel(like the hypervisor region)
don't need to be described in DT.
Is it reasonable to place it here?
Thanks!
