FYI, this is mostly a problem in non SPL flow (TI prosperity SBL for
example) where HSM RAM would be used by HSM firmware. This should be a
issue in R5 SPL flow.  Do you see any issues today? If so, whats the
TIFS firmware being used?

R5 ROM is long gone when R5 SPL starts, how would it kill anything?

Why not  0x70000000 ?

Can't we store directly in OCRAM in both stages? This RAM should be
accessible post TIFS is up (ie post k3_sysfw_loader() call)
