remoteproc: imx_rpoc: fix carveout name parsing

The imx remoteproc driver is updated to use the "memory-region-names" 
property for reserved memory regions instead of relying on devicetree 
node names. This allows standardizing node names according to the 
devicetree specification.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but looking at the loop in
imx_rproc_prepare(), does the early return on rproc_mem_entry_init() failure
leak resources?

If rproc_mem_entry_init() fails, it returns -ENOMEM without cleaning up 
the carveouts and coredump segments added in previous loop iterations:

drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c:imx_rproc_prepare() {
	while (1) {
		...
		mem = rproc_mem_entry_init(...);
		if (!mem)
			return -ENOMEM;
		
		rproc_coredump_add_segment(rproc, da, resource_size(&res));
		rproc_add_carveout(rproc, mem);
	}
}

This error propagates back to rproc_fw_boot(), where the error handling path
skips the clean_up_resources: label and jumps straight to disable_iommu:.

If a boot is retried by userspace (e.g., via sysfs), could this continually
append duplicate entries to the lists and eventually exhaust vmalloc space
when rproc_alloc_registered_carveouts() iterates over the duplicates and
maps the same physical memory addresses multiple times?
