The problem with SYSRAM_NS is that it might be also used in other code, not
related to firmware only. I don't know exactly all the use cases for it.
Is it really a big problem or we could let it be for now, merge the patches
for firmware and then convert SYSRAM_NS to dynamic mapping when its
situation clarifies?
