The convention for properties is <vendor-prefix>,<property-name>. Fix
your property names to follow this.

Use /reserved-memory.

Doesn't LPC have independent downstream devices like a bus? Is this a
bus where the ESPI controls access to MMBI and espi-ctrl devices? If so,
then the devices need their own binding and descriptions. But it doesn't
really look like that to me given the limited description.
