As in reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt? Might refer to that doc here.
Or is this some other kind of reserved memory?

sure, i will give reference to reserved-memory.txt.

If the former, it's normally called just "memory-region", although
that does seem somewhat non-descriptive...

+- msa-size: MSA memory size for fw internal use.

Do you really need both of these? It seems like your code uses one or
the other, not both. In which case, this is not a very good description,
because it sounds like they would go together.

Also, if you're not using standard/generic properties (e.g., the
aforementioned "memory-region" binding), you typically should use a
vendor prefix, like "qcom,msa-size".

Devicetree folks, any comments? I would like to apply this via my
ath.git tree but need help with the review.

I think Brian's comments w.r.t msa-size and msa-fixed-region both 
stand.
It would be good if Govind could answer his questions.

As Brian suggested, i am planing to remove msa-size and keep only 
msa-fixed-region.


Thanks
Govind
