Likely the wrong patch to blame but hopefully the right audience:

I'm trying to migrate my RPi4 setup to mainline, and this commit breaks 
booting with TF-A (current master) in the loop. Error:

And then we hang later on when Linux does start to use that memory and 
seems to trigger an exception.

Is there a bug in the upstream RPi4 DT?
