V6 will include the DT yaml.

The dts part will be similar as following:

+    #include <dt-bindings/clock/imx8mm-clock.h>
+    rsc_table: rsc_table at 550ff000 {
+      no-map;
+      reg = <0x550ff000 0x1000>;
+    };
+
+    vdev0vring0: vdev0vring0 at 55000000 {
+      no-map;
+      reg = <0x55000000 0x8000>;
+    };
+
+    vdev0vring1: vdev0vring1 at 55008000 {
+      reg = <0x55008000 0x8000>;
+      no-map;
+    };
+
+    vdevbuffer: vdevbuffer at 55400000 {
+      compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
+      reg = <0x55400000 0x100000>;
+      no-map;
+    };
+
+    imx8mm-cm4 {
+      compatible = "fsl,imx8mm-cm4";
+      clocks = <&clk IMX8MM_CLK_M4_DIV>;
+      mbox-names = "tx", "rx", "rxdb";
+      mboxes = <&mu 0 1
+                &mu 1 1
+                &mu 3 1>;
+      memory-region = <&vdevbuffer>, <&vdev0vring0>, <&vdev0vring1>, <&rsc_table>;
+      syscon = <&src>;
+    };

imx_rproc_parse_memory_regions will alloc carveout.

Yes. I agree and follow this rule from then.

Thanks,
