I managed to figure out my remaining issue - I had a typecasting issue
which was causing the value passed to get_ram_size() to overflow and
truncate:
-*size = get_ram_size((void *)PHYS_SDRAM, PHYS_SDRAM_SIZE + PHYS_SDRAM_2_SIZE);
+*size = get_ram_size((void *)PHYS_SDRAM, (long)PHYS_SDRAM_SIZE +
(long)PHYS_SDRAM_2_SIZE);
Can anyone explain why I need to change my dram config in order to
work with secure-boot/optee on a 4GiB board?:
