BTW, I tried another approach but this also doesn't work when CONFIG is enabled.
a) I have created a new header file such as myxyz.h and defined a new
macro with config check.
=> myxyz.h
+#ifdef CONFIG_XYZ
+#define XYZ_CMA
+#endif

b) Then I included the header file in my dtsi file and used ifdef with
the new macro.

#include "myxyz.h"

#ifdef CONFIG_XYZ
&reserved_mem {
        xyz_region: xyz_region {
                compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
                reusable;
                size = <0x600000>;
        };
};
#endif

But unfortunately this approach also did not work when CONFIG is
enabled. So, when config enable/disable its same behavior.
However, if I put the #define in the dtsi file itself then it works as expected.
