[PATCH v4 1/5] of/platform: Generalize /reserved-memory handling

By iterating over all /reserved-memory child nodes and match each one to
a list of compatibles that we want to treat specially, we can easily
extend the list of compatibles to handle - without having to resort to
of_platform_populate() that would create unnecessary platform_devices.
