[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/1] arm64: dts: marvell: mcbin: reserve PSCI area

The memory area [0x4000000-0x4200000[ is occupied by the PSCI firmware. Any attempt to access it from U-Boot leads to an immediate crash.
So let's make the same memory reservation as the vendor device tree.

I'm wondering if this reservation is only necessary and at this address for the mcbin or also for other (or even all) Armada 7k/8k boards? If global, then it would be better to move this reservation to a common dtsi file instead.
Thanks, Stefan

Hello Stefan,
I only have access to the MACCHIATObin.
But Marvell has the definition in arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-ap806.dtsi
Do I will resend the patch accordingly.
Best regards
Heinrich
