Hi Mukesh,

Not sure I have much to share, just probably that on FP5 the memory
setup and all the basics just come from a standard QCM6490.LA.3.0
release.
I don't see any hint that our ODM changed something in the memory map
for the device either.

I'm also aware that other phones also use QCM6490 SoC, so I'm still
wondering where the distinction between "FP5/ChromeOS memory map" vs
this new QCM6490 memory map is.
There's also e.g. this phone using QCM6490, I've not looked into this at
all, but I'm guessing that phone uses the same memory map as FP5.
