So, I'm really not sure either... One example I could find is
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/devfreq/rk3399_dmc.txt, but it still
doesn't specify memory type (it just passes parameters to ATF). You
can also look at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/ti/emif.txt (but
that only supports lpddr2 nodes, I guess we could add more types?).

Some ideas:
 1. DDR controller: Maybe you can probe at runtime, what memory type
is being used? After all the FW will have configured the memory
controller properly, so you could read back that information, somehow.
 2. memory node: Either add a new lpddr3/4/4x node in device tree
(like TI's emif), or add something to the memory node?
memory@40000000 {
device_type = "memory";
reg = <0 0x40000000 0 0x80000000>;
};
I don't see a binding document for memory though, and no one ever
seems to add anything but basic size information.
