To my knowledge the vendor OP-TEE blob implement PSCI for cpu core mgmt
and it also does some sort of initialization for OTP.

Without starting OP-TEE before U-Boot proper, reading from OTP only
return 0x00 for each byte read.

So will probably be much easier to just run OP-TEE similar to what some
other Rockchip ARMv7 SoCs does/require.

Thanks, will take a closer look at some point in future :-)
