Yeah I was thinking of memory reservations. They're under the
reserved-memory node as well as the reservation block, eg:
$ ls -1 /proc/device-tree/reserved-memory/
ibm,firmware-allocs-memory@...0000000
ibm,firmware-allocs-memory@...0000000
ibm,firmware-allocs-memory@...00000
ibm,firmware-allocs-memory@...000000
ibm,firmware-code@...00000
ibm,firmware-data@...00000
ibm,firmware-heap@...00000
ibm,firmware-stacks@...00000
ibm,hbrt-code-image@...d510000
ibm,hbrt-target-image@...d6a0000
ibm,hbrt-vpd-image@...d700000
ibm,slw-image@...da00000
ibm,slw-image@...de00000
ibm,slw-image@...e200000
ibm,slw-image@...e600000
There's also some new systems where a catalog of PMU events is stored in
flash as a DTB and then stitched into the device tree by skiboot before
booting Linux.
Anyway my point was mainly just that the device tree is not simply a
copy of something in the kernel source.
cheers
