Hi Mathieu,

Sorry for the late response.

Using a "reserved-memory" node to calculate max_dram_size presents
challenges due to alignment requirements in dma_alloc_coherent().

For example, 

static const struct mtk_scp_sizes_data mt8188_scp_c1_sizes = {
        .max_dram_size = 0xA00000,
        .ipi_share_buffer_size = 600,
};

We require 2560 pages (10M) for SCP core1 usage, but alignment
constraints necessitate searching for a free region of 2^12 pages
(16M). This misalignment between the reserved 10M and the required 16M
prevents successful allocation.

Adjusting the reserved memory to 16M for core1 would lead to a 6M
wastage. To avoid this, reserving a larger memory block is advisable.
This block can be partially used by SCP core1, with the remainder
allocated to feature drivers. Consequently, setting the max_dram_size
in SCP configurations is a practical solution to meet these
requirements.

Thanks,
Jason
