What exactly is this memreserve intended to protect at runtime?

The only item of runtime firmware I see in use below is PSCI on the
secure side.

How is the kernel booted on this platform? UEFI?

Please don't use wildcards in compatible strings. Give this an absolute
name, and override as necessary.

Nice!

Just to check: both the SoC and CPU are called thunder?

To make this easier to read, please place a comma between 32-bit
portions of the unit address (e.g. here have 8010,00000000).

This has no children, so why have ranges, #address-cells, and
#size-cells?

Please get rid of the clocks node and just put the clocks here.

Is this actually the apb_pclk, or is the the uartclk? I assume it's the
latter.

Similarly?

Thanks,
Mark.
