So, like, the other day "Li Yang-r58472" mumbled:

So, does it make sense for this node to participate in the early scan
of memory available during the early_init_dt_scan_memory() pass?

Out of curiosity, is "data-only" a standard thing, or did you make
that up too?  What's it mean?	

And your patch for this new node introduction will contain
proposed additions to the QE section of the booting-without-of
documentation, right?

Thanks,
