Is this the CMA range or a different one? If so this makes sense.

U-Boot has a rpi4 iproc_rng200 driver for this and provides it via the
UEFI random seed as well, if you're booting using UEFI that takes
precedence so providing this might not be useful but also it doesn't
matter much.

Tested on RPi400 and it solves the issues with the kernel DT I've seen
plus some RPi4s although no the rev 1.3+ devices that also have the
newer SoC rev that's the same in the rpi400
