Commit Message

The modem firmware size is typically highly device-specific.
The current size of the mpss_mem region in msm8916.dtsi (0x2b00000)
only works for some APQ8016 devices without full-featured modem,
such as the DragonBoard 410c.

The full modem firmware is typically about twice as large (~45 MiB
-> ~90 MiB) but also varies by a few MiB from device to device. Since
these devices are quite memory-constrained nowadays it's important to
minimize the unnecessary memory reservations.

Make it clear that each board needs to specify the necessary mpss_mem
size by replacing the DB410c-specific size in msm8916.dtsi with a
simple comment. &mpss_mem is disabled by default so it's fine to leave
some properties up to the boards if they want to enable it.

Any reason not to squash it with one of the earlier patches then?

I'm not strictly opposed but these are really two independent changes.
One drops the fixed memory regions and makes the allocation dynamic,
in the SoC dtsi. This one moves board-specific information out of the
SoC dtsi (to the boards).

Thanks,
