Allow instances of the qcom,rmtfs-mem either be defined as a
reserved-memory regoin, or just standalone given just a size.

This relieve the DeviceTree source author the need to come up with a
static memory region for the region.

2 nitty nits:

- Most uses of DT arithmetic put spaces between the operands
- You could add a comment explaining what this example brings to
  the table

typo: region

I am pretty sure I saw some patches from Qualcomm also making one of
reserved-memory users a bit more dynamic (some boot-thingy?). Would be
nice to unify...

If you region does not have to be static, why bothering with the size in
DT? I assume this can be really dynamic and nothing is needed in DT. Not
even size.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

The size, client-id and vmid need to match the firmware and access
policy configuration, and are as such device-specific properties for the
region.

The desired size is available during the rmtfs handshake, so it's
plausible that one could come up with a mechanism of dynamic allocation.
But this would be complicated (as I'd prefer not to have the rmtfs
service in the kernel...), and we'd still end up with something in DT to
affect placement etc - often a reserved-memory region to specifically
define the placement.

We'd still need the client-id and vmid properties, and we still need
some mechanism to instantiate the rmtfs service and something that will
configure the access permissions for the region...

Regards,
Bjorn
