I think this should be aspeed,scu.

Hmm, I was thinking more like a phandle to a reserved memory region,
like we have in the aspeed-lpc-ctrl binding.

I think I mentioned before, but that doesn't work with the VGA memory.
Linux can't reserve it. I haven't quite understood what happens in the
memory system but I've tried it and it didn't work.
