如何在i.MX8MP平台上为Qualcomm平台的Wi-Fi芯片开辟特定的CMA空间？

1. 为什么要开辟指定的空间

为了防止Wi-Fi长时间运行，导致的内存碎片化，Qualcomm Wi-Fi平台可以从内存空间中，划分出特定的CMA空间段，用以进行内存的申请和释放，下面我们重点介绍下，如何在i.MX8MP Linux 5.15.x平台上为QCA206x Wi-Fi 6/6E预留特定CMA空间的操作步骤。

2. Linux开辟特定的CMA空间

Linux 5.15.x中首先合入如下patch，为cnss driver提前预留CMA空间：

合入上如patch后，dmesg log如下所示：
