GRUB Multiboot specification equivalent implementation from U-Boot - reserved memory regions

Hi,
I have a special question about reserved memory regions one some
architectures. For the first time only for ARM and ARM64.
Is there a equivalent or similar mechanism in U-Boot to tell the
Kernel, which memory regions are free available for the Kernel? On
x86 with GRUB as boot loader, I can use the Multiboot specification.
Does the device trees handle this? Unfortunately I haven't found
any hint in the DTS at this time.
Started to write my own Kernel for the purpose of learning and
want to port it to ARM. I also want to use U-Boot (for basic
initialization) as loader for the Kernel, hence the question.
Thanks in advance!
Off-topic:
Can U-Boot also boot ELF files from a FIT image? Tried it with
"standalone" and "kernel", but didn't work for me.
