That's not what I see entirely. I see the same problem I told you already.
of_reserved_mem_region_to_resource_byname returns error ->
airoha_npu_wlan_init_memory returns error -> your other patchset prints
big fat warning in mt7996_pci_probe().

So all correct DTS now gets a warning. Warning is a state of failure,
even if probe proceeds.

I don't understand why you can't make it fully optional, so also fully
backwards compatible.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
