One thing I forgot to mention on the memory front. It's typical for the
memory property to represent the entire physical RAM on the board, even
if something else is using parts of it, so Linux can't touch it. You can
prevent Linux from using parts of the memory with the /memreserve/
syntax in the .dts file, which the bootloader should be able to add or
adjust as appropriate based on system configuration.
