T210's GPU secure firmware loading requires a write-protected region

This patch reserves the upper 256KB of RAM as the WPR region and locks
it so the kernel can initiate secure firmware loading.
On T210, it's the responsibility of nvtboot (which runs before U-Boot) to
set up any and all carve-outs. This code should not be necessary, and indeed
I expect the registers it touches can't actually be programmed from U-Boot,
which runs in non-secure mode after WPR is already locked.
Can we document this assumption somewhere? It's entirely possible that
someone might want to run U-Boot without nvtboot
That's not currently a supported use-case.
, in which case nvtboot
would still need to be responsible for setting this up.
I assume s/nvtboot/whatever other bootloader is in use/?
Or if it isn't
we could still point at some location where the interactions between a
first stage bootloader and U-Boot are documented.
Do we have a document of this kind already?
The L4T U-Boot source code:-)
