I have no idea; as I've already said, I lost total interest in it.

What I _am_ saying though is that rather than defining some platform
specific bindings and continuing that idiotic state of affairs, we
have the chance to do things properly now: define a standard set of
DT bindings to describe on-board SRAM.

That's something which can be done with or without the sram
consolidation stuff.
