I have committed the patch.
The CI test jobs (static-mem) failed on this patch:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/pipelines/752911309

Thanks for the report.


I took a look at it and this is because in the test script we
try to find a node whose unit-address does not have leading zeroes.
However, after this patch, we switched to PRIpaddr which is defined as 
016lx/016llx and
we end up creating nodes like:

memory@0000000050000000

instead of:

memory@60000000

We could modify the script,

TBH, I think it was a mistake for the script to rely on how Xen describe the memory banks in the Device-Tree.

For instance, from my understanding, it would be valid for Xen to create a single node for all the banks or even omitting the unit-address if there is only one bank.

but do we really want to create nodes
with leading zeroes? The dt spec does not mention it, although [1]
specifies that the Linux convention is not to have leading zeroes.

Reading through the spec in [2], it suggested the current naming is fine. That said the example match the Linux convention (I guess that's not surprising...).

I am open to remove the leading. However, I think the CI also needs to be updated (see above why).
