[PATCH] dt-bindings: pmem: Convert binding to YAML
From: Drew Fustini
Date: Sat May 17 2025 - 23:56:17 EST
Convert the PMEM device tree binding from text to YAML. This will allow
device trees with pmem-region nodes to pass dtbs_check.

+title: Persistent Memory Regions
+
+description: |
+ Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
+
+ a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
+ b) Retain their contents across power failure.
+
+ Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
+ storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
+ persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
+ binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
+ memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
