When mt8195-demo.dts sent to the upstream, at that time the size of
BL31 was small. Because supported functions and modules in BL31 are
basic sets when the board was under early development stage.
Now BL31 includes more firmwares of coprocessors and maturer functions
so the size has grown bigger in real applications. According to the
value reported by customers, we think reserved 2MiB for BL31 might be
enough for maybe the following 2 or 3 years.
