Yes, from the initial beginning for supporting Cortex-M firmware, the section
is there. I just think whether people build their own firmware, not has
this section, and just put firmware in TCM, there is no need to explicitly set
word 0 and 4 again. This maybe a fake assumption, I could refine this piece
code.

They not work on other areas, not same as me. Anyway I could ask them to
help review.
