It also stores the firmware images in a protected memory area (TMR =
Trusted Memory Area) so the OS or driver can't corrupt it at runtime
after it's been validated.

How about something like:

Another important IP is the SMU.  It handles reset distribution as
well as clock and power management for all of the IPs on the SoC.
