Will add it.

Actually I traced the pmu_parse_irqs() and found that this SoC never falls into
the pmu_has_irq_affinity() check because it's a percpu IRQ so the flow ends at
pmu_parse_percpu_irq(). But it looks good to me to have an interrupt-affinity
to indicate that each core has an associated PPI for PMU events as the binding
file has suggested.

So far I can only see a few examples [e.g. ti/k3-*] which add the psci node
into /firmware but logically we should do it.

Will remove it.

Actually it's a limitation due to [PATCH 7/8] "arm64: dts: s32g2: add memory
nodes for evb and rdb2", which adds memory nodes to indicate maximum system
RAM size combined by two separated memory banks, and the second bank starts
from the offset 0x880000000 so that's why we need 64-bit address space here.
Please feel free to let me know if any suggestion.

Will do.

I added memory nodes in [PATCH 7/8] "arm64: dts: s32g2: add memory nodes for
evb and rdb2" to describe maximum RAM areas, which are based on the information
we found in NXP BSP and boards.

@NXP: Please feel free to correct me if anything wrong, thanks.

IIRC, gic-v3 shouldn't have this kind of interrupt specifier. It's my fault and
will fix it. Feel free to let me know if any suggestions.
