I miss a Fixes: or Cc: here for the backport you desired. To have it
fixed back to my very introduction:

Fixes: 4f24eda8401f ("ARM64: dts: Prepare configs for Amlogic Meson GXBaby")

People backporting it would need to handle the meson-{gx => gxbb}.dtsi
transition for 4.9 down to 4.6, which seems fairly straightforward.

Both sub-nodes get a label that is unused, but reserved-memory itself
does not (my v4 remark). Intentional?

I note that this .dtsi further down has a node /firmware/secure-monitor
with label sm.
a) Is there any naming convention such as secmon_mem to adopt here to
avoid mixups with sm?
b) Should this secmon node be referenced in the secure-monitor node via
memory-node = <&secmon>; to model their connection, thereby giving the
label a use? Or should we maybe merge the two nodes by moving the
compatible string here?

Anyway, objection resolved,

I don't expect breakage from these more confined additions, but I can
try to test tomorrow.

Thanks,
Andreas
