I gree: 3 differents issues in the thread
- ARMv7 non-LPAE uses the wrong domain settings
=> bad DRACR configuration as raised by Ard & patch proposed by Ard in thread (but not pushed in mailing list)
=> I need to test it to check if it is correct my issue : today I can't reproduce the issue, still in my TODO list
- no-map non-secure memory should not be mapped by u-boot
=> this serie, not ready for v2021.01, I think... I will push a V2 after my tests
- secure world-only memory should not be described as memory in the device tree
=> I let Etienne Carriere manage it for OP-TEE point of view: today the secure memory is added by OP-TEE
in U-Boot device tree and U-Boot copy this node to Kernel Device tree
I have no a clear opinion about it
