Beagleplay stops booting completely with latest U-boot so I did a little
bisect and it seems like reverting this patch helps.

I am not sure what other implications there are of reverting this so I
don't suggest immediately dropping it, however some hints around what's
missing on beagleplay vs other platforms would be helpful.

Because other platforms based off the same SoC don't seem to be
affected.

Grumble... I had to rediscover this in parallel as well - Thanks Dhruva.
mkimage -l tispl.bin and comparing with kernel log of reserved mem
had me completely confused.

a) Memory maps are already notorious to manage on complex heterogenous
   systems. From beagle perspective, we have no need to go and monkey
   with DT defined memory map and DT should be the default and modifying

Your DT source file is wrong, ATF is at 0x8000_0000 (or any address one
wants to put in K3_ATF_LOAD_ADDR). DT doesn't "define" hardware, it "describes"
it. ATF's location is dynamic and configurable, it doesn't belong in DT.

You have two options, either go update your DT, then update it again every
time ATF moves. *OR* simply turn on OF_SYSTEM_SETUP and let U-Boot add the
correct location reserved memory node for you.

Then you can also drop out the reserved-node from the DT template file.
Only U-Boot knows where ATF is really placed in RAM, so U-Boot must add
this info to DT.

   DT should be explicitly called out with a log (instead of done
   "transparently") - so instead of CONFIG_K3_OPTEE_LOAD_ADDR default
   being forced from u-boot, it should be made optional, where when
   defined, it can overide the dt definition or some variant of that.

b) Looks like
    https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20240214163009.983034-4-...@ti.com/
    missed beagleplay? and we were in for a surprise there - i dont want

This was the only miss, OF_SYSTEM_SETUP didn't get added to the beagleplay
config. Bryan just sent the fix for that now. I'll go look for a way to
make this common across the whole SoC family so we don't again miss any
new boards.

Andrew

    to switch from default dts for beagleplay to something different just
    because of simplicity for users to know exactly the carveouts and
    with other s/w starting up on uC, dts is our "canonical truth".
