Hi Casey, since the SM8550 is marketed as a Snapdragon Gen 2 SoC, should
I still document it in dragonwing.rst? Maybe I can add a footnote like
the following?
  The SM8550 isn't considered a Dragonwing SoC due to the addition of
  the RF Modem but this documentation can still be followed.

Ack all of the above, I will rebase and test the SMEM changes populate
the memory node correctly.

Many thanks,
