SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/5] media: platform: Aspeed: Make reserved memory optional

I had to do a bit of legwork to understand what you were doing here. My
understanding is that we allocate out of the default CMA region if the
memory-region property isn't specified. Is that what you're expecting?
Could be helpful to be a little less terse in the commit message.

You're ignoring *all* errors here with the expectation that the cause is the
missing memory-region property. However, other errors can propagate
out of of_reserved_mem_device_init() - e.g. ENOMEM. Rather than remove
error checking, I think you should explicitly test for ENODEV, which is what is
returned if the memory-region property is absent.

Cheers,

Andrew
