If the user/platform needs to specify the amount of memory that
will be allocated by the driver, it can be done though platform
data or (better) using module params.

Yes, with that patch sram_alloc() will allocate from L3 RAM. You can make
calls to sram_alloc() in your driver. Again the size to be allocated can
be platform data or module params.
