Correct they are different, but smem covers both of those and allocations are
only supposed to be done in the first of these.
And I forgot to mention that I have the following in my dt:
/ {
reserved-memory {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges;
smem at fa00000 {
#memory-region-cells = <0>;
reg = <0x0fa00000 0x200000>;
no-map;
};
};
};
