Reserved memory can be either looked up using the generic function of_address_to_resource() or using the special of_reserved_mem_lookup(). The latter has the advantage that it ensures that the referenced memory region was really reserved and is not e.g. status = "disabled". of_reserved_mem also supports allocating reserved memory dynamically at boot time. This works only when using of_reserved_mem_lookup() since there won't be a fixed address in the device tree. Switch the code to use of_reserved_mem_lookup(). There is no functional difference for static reserved memory allocations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
