Acked. I already had this fixed in the driver, but not in the doc. Woops!

We have 3 possible instances in our current SoC. We currently only 
implement one. arm,scmi. But more will come in the future. I'll put a 
sample arm,scmi node as an example consumer in v2.

This is a region from the on chip memory. I will rename to be clear. It 
lies in a different address space as reserved-memory. I can still use 
memory region if you prefer, but I will need to manually strip the 
offset in my driver as the API agreed upon with the FW is an offset from 
the beginning of on chip memory. IMHO this makes things unnecessarily 
complicated.
