With U-Boot SPL it works because in riscv_board_reserved_mem_fixup() ("arch/riscv/lib/fdt_fixup.c")

riscv_board_reserved_mem_fixup() {
        /* avoid the copy if we are using the same device tree */
        if (src_fdt_addr == fdt)
                return 0;

	riscv_fdt_copy_resv_mem_node();
}

OpenSBI and U-Boot both are using the same device tree (U-Boot SPL sends U-Boot device tree address in a1 register to OpenSBI), so 
riscv_fdt_copy_resv_mem_node() never gets called.


With FSBL, OpenSBI and U-Boot uses different device tree so riscv_board_reserved_mem_fixup() ("arch/riscv/lib/fdt_fixup.c"), so 
riscv_fdt_copy_resv_mem_node() getting called and tried to increase the fdt_blob size which will overwrite the global data (gd).
