[PATCH 2/2] of: fdt: Allow the kernel to mark nomap regions received from fdt

[Lucas Tanure]

Reserved regions can be described in FDT and device trees, but FDT doesn't
provide the related flags, like nomap.
So allow the kernel to mark regions where the base and size received from
the device tree are the same as the base and region on FDT.
Here we trust that the device tree has a more updated description of the
region than the one received from FDT.
