Well, if I understood correctly, in [1] Nas said that SRAM usage is
SoC-specific even with same Wave5 IP.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/SL2P216MB1246F7FA7E95896AA2409C90FB2C2@SL2P216MB1246.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/

From docs I have for Wave515 it's _seems_ to be about 64K, but it's not
too clear.

Yeah, I did exactly that in v2, was about to send, until I got
"Ivan's approach looks good to me" :)

I interpreted this as different Wave5 variants have varying SRAM
requirements. For ex, Wave521lc vs Wave515. If two SoCs have same
variant, the required SRAM won't change from Wave5 perspective. The size
would only really change based on how much SRAM is available on that
particular SoC.

I will let Nas comment on this, but 64K also sounds familiar to me.
