This (and the prior) memory layout extend over the possible memory
region that OPTEE may use, 32 MiB at 132 MiB offset.

The following regions is typically reserved for TF-A and OPTEE:

0x00000000 - 0x00200000 - reserved for TF-A, pstore, shmem, etc (0-2 MiB)
0x08400000 - 0x0a400000 - reserved for OPTEE (132-164 MiB)

Following offsets are used by U-Boot on rockchip rk35xx:

@0       - U-Boot SPL
@40000   - TF-A (@256 KiB)
@a00000  - U-Boot proper (@10 MiB)
@c00000  - scriptaddr (@12 MiB)
@c00800  - loadaddr (@12 MiB + 2 KiB)
@e00000  - pxefile_addr_r (@14 MiB)
@8400000 - optional OPTEE (@132 MiB)

May I suggest a memory layout similar to the following be used:

@1800000  - fdtoverlay_addr_r (@24 MiB)
@1c00000  - fdt_addr_r (@28 MiB)
@2000000  - kernel_addr_r (@32 MiB)
@a800000  - kernel_comp_addr_r (@168 MiB) // could also be a400000 (@164 MiB)
@12c00000 - ramdisk_addr_r (@300 MiB) // kernel_comp_addr_r + kernel_comp_size
and kernel_comp_size = 0x8000000 (128 MiB)

With that it should allow for a 100-136 MiB kernel starting at @32 MiB,
depending on if memory is reserved for OPTEE or not. It also leave 4 MiB
for FDT and FDT overlay in memory just before the kernel. And finally do
not overlap kernel_comp_addr_r with possible OPTEE memory.

If we need more space then 2 MiB for U-Boot proper we should also
revise the offsets used for loadaddr, scriptaddr and pxefile_addr_r.

Jonas
