I brought it up last week but forgot to respond here.
eNVM on PolarFire SoC is only 128 KiB and the HSS, of which OpenSBI
is but a component, has to fit in that.
As things stand, "we" are already cutting out swathes of code that is
not used on the platform & relying on self decompression - but even
with that it's a struggle to fit.

I don't think v1.2 (or later) is going to happen unfortunately!

Thanks
