I would say it does not and wasn't tested :( Best regards, Krzysztof

Adding a reserved memory region for the framebuffer memory (the splash memory region set up by the bootloader). Signed-off-by: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org> --- v3: Point this reserved region to MDSS. v2: Updated commit message. There was some dicussion on v1 but it didn't go anywhere, https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20230124182857.1524912-1-amit.pundir@linaro.org/T/#u. The general consensus is that this memory should be freed and be made resuable but that (releasing this piece of memory) has been tried before and it is not trivial to return the reserved memory node to the system RAM pool in this case. arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sdm845-db845c.dts | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+)
