Looks like MSM8953 has the same RAM setup as MSM8916, where the base
address depends on the amount of RAM you have:

  <= 2.00 GiB RAM: 0x80000000
   = 3.00 GiB RAM: 0x40000000
   = 3.75 GiB RAM: 0x10000000
 (more does not fit into the 32-bit physical address space)

So, 0x10000000 will only end up being used on devices with 3.75 GiB RAM.

Can you add a note about this in the commit message maybe? We don't know
in advance which base address a device will use, so I think it's fine to
hardcode one of the choices by default. msm8916.dtsi does the same.

Thanks,
Stephan
