Large memory blocks can be RELIABLY reserved only during early boot. This
must happen before the whole memory management subsystem is initialized,
because we need to ensure that the given contiguous blocks are not yet
allocated by kernel. Also it must happen before kernel mappings for the
whole low memory are created, to ensure that there will be no mappings
(for reserved blocks) or mapping with special properties can be created
(for CMA blocks). This all happens before device tree structures are
unflattened, so we need to get reserved memory layout directly from fdt.

dt_root_*_cells are global variables, so its not a problem to get access to
them. However I wonder how can we ensure that user/device tree creator will
set #size-cells/#address-cells to the same values as for root memory node?
Would it be enough to state that in binding documentation? If so then the
reserved memory code can skip parsing them and use dt_root_*_cells directly,
what will simplify the code.

early_init_dt_scan_memory() is also called from of_scan_flat_dt() and
it also implements similar state machine to parse fdt. The only
difference is the fact that "memory" is a direct child of root node,
so the state machine is much simpler (there is no need to parse
/memory/reserved-memory path).

I see no such possibility. FDT is unflattened too late to do reliably
all operation required for memory reservation.

I wonder if it really makes sense. To get device_node ptr I will need to
scan /memody/reserved-memory node and match all its children BY NAME
with the structures parsed from FDT (stored in reserved_mem array). Then
I will need to iterate again for each device node with memory-region
property to find the needed entry. Names are unique, IMHO they can serve
as a key for matching structures between FDT and regular, unflattened DT.
