This patch adds the binding for describing the shared memory
used to exchange meta data between the co-processor and Face
Detection (FD) unit of the camera system on Mediatek SoCs.

+Mediatek FD Shared Memory binding
+
+This binding describes the shared memory, which serves the purpose of
+describing the shared memory region used to exchange data between Face
+Detection hardware (FD) and co-processor in Mediatek SoCs.
+
+The co-processor doesn't have the iommu so we need to use the physical
+address to access the shared buffer in the firmware.
+
+The Face Detection hardware (FD) can access memory through mt8183 IOMMU so
+it can use dma address to access the memory region.
+(See iommu/mediatek,iommu.txt for the detailed description of Mediatek IOMMU)
+
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be "mediatek,reserve-memory-fd_smem"
+
+- reg: required for static allocation (see reserved-memory.txt for
+ the detailed usage)
+
+- alloc-range: required for dynamic allocation. The range must
+ between 0x00000400 and 0x100000000 due to the co-processer's
+ addressing limitation
+
+- size: required for dynamic allocation. The unit is bytes.
+ for Face Detection Unit, you need 1 MB at least.
+
+
+Example:
+
+The following example shows the FD shared memory setup for MT8183.
+
+ reserved-memory {
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;
+ ranges;
+ reserve-memory-fd_smem {
+ compatible = "mediatek,reserve-memory-fd_smem";
+ size = <0 0x00100000>;
+ alignment = <0 0x1000>;
+ alloc-ranges = <0 0x40000000 0 0x100000000>;
+ };
+ };
