Re: [PATCH v38 7/7] arm64: dts: imx8ulp: add reserved memory for EdgeLock Enclave

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The dynamically allocated `ele-reserved` `no-map` node lacks an `alignment` property, leading to unaligned `no-map` memory boundaries that cause driver initialization failure via `memremap()`/`ioremap()` restrictions.

arm64: dts: imx8ulp: add reserved memory for EdgeLock Enclave

This commit reserves 1MB of DDR for the EdgeLock Enclave in a new shared
imx8ulp-firmware.dtsi file. The allocation is constrained to a specific
address window to allow dynamic placement by the kernel.

[Severity: High]
Should this dynamically allocated no-map region include an alignment property?

Without an explicit alignment, early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch()
defaults to SMP_CACHE_BYTES (128 bytes). If the memblock allocator places
the region at a non-page-aligned physical address, the no-map region can
split a physical page.

During driver initialization, dma_init_coherent_memory() calls memremap()
to map this reserved pool. On arm64, this invokes ioremap(), which strictly
verifies that the target PFN does not overlap linearly mapped System RAM.

Because the physical page starts before the unaligned no-map region, it
evaluates as regular mapped RAM. This triggers the architectural safety check
prohibiting the mapping of RAM as I/O memory, causing ioremap() to warn and
return NULL, preventing the driver from initializing.
