I think this entry replaces the default TLB out of reset and it does
cover the boot page 0xfffff000~0xffffffff. It is not unique to this
platform. You can find many similar existing code.

I agree the G bit shouldn't be set here.

I suspect this is the idea carried from early NAND boot implementation.
You are mostly familiar with NAND and SPL boot, can you examine if we
can turn on the cache for these cases?
