Hi Guodong,
I have confirmed with SpacemiT that sec_uart1 uses dram_range4, a.k.a.
dma-bus, which is same as the rest of the UARTs.
Also, sec_uart1 is usable in e.g. Linux, but only if no TEE is in use.
Using status = "reserved" is the safe choice here. Platforms that do not
run a TEE (or anything similar that would disable access to the
0xf000_0000 to 0xffff_ffff range) and wishing to enable use of sec_uart1
can change the status to "okay".
