These backup registers are documented in

https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/STM32MP15_backup_registers


This "security" configuration is done in STMicoelectronics delivery

(OpenSTLinux) in OP-TEE.

A ROM code  security check is done only for closed device to avoid malicious

code execution: "unsecure" code on CPU2 during wake-up by changing

BRANCH_ADDRESS

=> the STM32MP15 ROM check that only the secure world can update

       the TAMP_BKP5R = BRANCH_ADDRESS

       before to start the CPU2 and jump to this address.


Sorry to inconvenient, we will improve this part on next release

= OpenSTLinux V5.1

The recommended mapping (the mapping done in OP-TEE for OpenSTLinux) is 
described in Wiki page

- 10 backup register secure

- 4  backup register secure write / non secure read

- 17 backup register Non-secure

It is done in

https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/optee_os/blob/3.19.0-stm32mp/core/arch/arm/plat-stm32mp1/main.c

with


static TEE_Result stm32_configure_tamp(void)
{
     TEE_Result res __maybe_unused = TEE_SUCCESS;
     struct stm32_bkpregs_conf bkpregs_conf = {
         .nb_zone1_regs = 10, /* 10 registers in zone 1 */
         .nb_zone2_regs = 5   /* 5 registers in zone 2 */
                      /* Zone3 all remaining */
     };

     /* Enable BKP Register protection */
     if (stm32_tamp_set_secure_bkpregs(&bkpregs_conf))
         panic();


But when you are booting with SPL U-boot, all the boot chain and the 
Linux kernel

is running in secure world


So you have no reason to manage any limit for the access to backup 
register,

you can allocate all the backup registers (the 32 one) to secure world

See "Figure 552. Backup registers secure protections" in reference mnauel

Protection zone 1 => x = 31 with  BKPRWDPROT = 31

Protection zone 2 & 3 => empty

+	clrsetbits_le32(TAMP_SMCR,
+			TAMP_SMCR_BKPRWDPROT | TAMP_SMCR_BKPWDPROT,
+			FIELD_PREP(TAMP_SMCR_BKPRWDPROT, 0x20) |
+			FIELD_PREP(TAMP_SMCR_BKPWDPROT, 0x20));


Sorry for the delay, I need also to check on my side


But anyway your proposal is functional,

So with or without the previous remark
