Please excuse my ignorance here, but is this memory controller used to
manage the memory in use by the kernel? If so, how is it safe to reconfigure
it dynamically at runtime? If not, then it might be worth describing
some typical use-cases in the binding documentation to motivate the
existence of this driver.
