But are you saying that it's correct that these two memory regions
should overlap?

Then there will be an associated reserved-memory region for the
region(s), you should add a label to this and use "memory-region" to get
hold of the addresses instead.

Yes, from Cortex-m4 the same memory regions are aliased to different
address ranges to provide different cache optimizations.
From Cortex-A7 side - not. But on this side we don't care about meaning
of it, it is just some memory region.

Ok. Should only system memory region be assigned over reserved-memory or
all of named regions?

You can do it either way, but unless you see a strong reason against it
I would recommend just having a single region, for simplicity.
