Hi Rob,

Thanks for your review.

Here we just reserve a buffer and would like to create a dma-buf secure
heap for SVP, then the secure engines(Vcodec and DRM) could prepare
secure buffer through it.

But the heap driver is pure SW driver, it is not platform device and
we don't have a corresponding HW unit for it. Thus I don't think I
could create a platform dtsi node and use "memory-region" pointer to
the region. I used RESERVEDMEM_OF_DECLARE currently(The code is in
[9/9]). Sorry if this is not right.

Then in our usage case, is there some similar method to do this? or
any other suggestion?

Appreciate in advance.

All drivers are pure SW.

If this is not for any hardware and you already understand this (since
you cannot use other bindings) then you cannot have custom bindings for
it either.

Don't stuff software into DTS.
