I have not found a way to make that work for kernel modules. Built-in
drivers can bind with RESERVEDMEM_OF_DECLARE, which puts an entry in
__reservedmem_of_table and __reserved_mem_init_node() iterates find it
there. A good case study might be CONFIG_TEGRA210_EMC, where the driver
itself can be a module but the rmem parsing is always built-in under
CONFIG_TEGRA210_EMC_TABLE. I don't think that's worth the trouble with
this driver.
