+    Dedicated RAM and ROM chips are often used as storage for temporary or
+    permanent data in embedded devices. Possible usage include non-volatile
+    storage in battery-backed SRAM, semi-permanent storage in dedicated SRAM
+    to preserve data accross reboots and firmware storage in dedicated ROM.
+
+     - compatible : should contain the specific model of RAM/ROM chip(s)
+       used, if known, followed by either "physmap-ram" or "physmap-rom"
+     - reg : Address range of the RAM/ROM chip
+     - bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the RAM/ROM bank. Equal to the
+       device width times the number of interleaved chips.
+     - device-width : (optional) Width of a single RAM/ROM chip. If
+       omitted, assumed to be equal to 'bank-width'.
+
+    Similarly to memory-mapped NOR flash, memory-mapped RAM & ROM chips
+    can be partionned. See the "j) CFI and JEDEC memory-mapped NOR flash"
+    section for information about how to represent partitions in the
+    device tree.
+
+    Example:
+
+	mmram at f2000000 {
+		compatible = "renesas,m5m5w816", "physmap-ram";
+		reg = <f2000000 00100000>;
+		bank-width = <2>;
+	};
+
 
    More devices will be defined as this spec matures.
