[PATCH 3/6] ARM: dts: bcm2711: Add reserved memory template to hold firmware configuration

RPi4's co-processor will copy the board's bootloader configuration into
memory for the OS to consume. Introduce a reserved-memory area template
for the co-processor to edit before booting the system so as for Linux
not to overwrite that memory.
