What is this "default" lookup config and where does it come from? You 
say it's 0xffffbfff after reset and it's set to something different 
after a TF-A has configured the firewall... Is it after a cold boot? 
That somehow is different than a warm reset maybe?

For the proof :)

How about using the same names as in TF-A?

PMU1SGRF_FW_BASE instead of FW_PMU1SGRF_BASE and
FW_PMU_SGRF_SLV_LOOKUP(x) instead of PMU1SGRF_SLV_LOOKUP0?

I cannot test this as I don't have an RK3576 board but it looks ok to me.

Cheers,
Quentin
