This memory region is pre-reserved for the spin-table/psci, although didn't add
Enable method of secondary cores.

There are two methods (spin-table and psci) to bring up secondary cores, which one
do you think is better?

Thanks for your correction.

There are 3 child node located in dtsi file that should be created and added
to platform device list.

Thanks and will move it out in v2.

Yes, there is a 2GB space for DRAM from address 2G.
The DRAM address 0x0 will be remapped to SoC address 2G, this remap is done by hardware.

No.
