Note: This DT is for running on the Cortex-A53 cores, but S32G2 also has
Cortex-M7 cores. For Vybrid SoCs, DTs later got contributed to also run
on its Cortex-M4 core:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610.dtsi
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi
vs.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/vf610m4.dtsi

Should we plan for this in our file naming here and in following patches
(e.g., s32g2-a53* vs. s32g2-m7*)? To me, a later concatenation of
s32g274am7* would look awkward, and s32g274a-m7* would sort between -evb
and -rdb2.

@NXP: Are any models other than 274A in the queue that we should
distinguish between s32g2.dtsi and s32g274a.dtsi here already?

interrupt-affinity = <&cpu0>, <&cpu1>, <&cpu2>, <&cpu3>;

Should we move this into a /firmware node, to group with future OP-TEE?

Duplicate, already set on root node.

Why? Does it have any peripherals that go beyond 32-bit space?
For 64-bit Realtek platforms Rob had asked me to use 1, if possible.
I do understand that for /memory nodes we do have high-memory addresses,
so 2 for the root node looks correct.

According to Rob, the /soc ranges should exclude any RAM ranges for
safety reasons. Compare:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/realtek/rtd129x.dtsi

If you're lacking the maximum RAM areas to carve out, NXP is in CC to
help out :) and the EVB and RDB2 boards should give you starting numbers
that could be enlarged later if needed.

Please order reg after compatible by convention, and sort
interrupt-controller or at least #interrupt-cells (applying to
consumers) last, after the below one applying to this device itself.

CC'ing Marc for additional GIC scrutiny, often the sizes are wrong.
