This would overlap the scratch area and possibly corrupt things there,
wouldn't it?

I think this may need to move again...

Is it not possible to read input_data/input_data_end here and determine
barebox_base and reuse the same memory area that barebox_pbl_start()
would use when TF-A returns?

Thanks,
Ahmad
