Mathieu you are totally correct imx6/imx7 use different addresses they
boot.

For imx7:
| On i.MX 7Dual/7Solo, the boot vector for the Cortex-M4 core is located
| at the start of the OCRAM_S (On Chip RAM - Secure) whose address is
| 0x0018_0000 from Cortex-A7.

For imx6:
| The Boot vector for the Cortex-M4 core is located at the start of the
| TCM_L whose address is 0x007F_8000 from the Cortex-A9. This is a
| different location than on the i.MX 7Dual/7Solo

But on imx7 0x0 is translated to 0x0018_0000 by imx_rproc_da_to_va, and
on imx7 0x0 is translated to 0x007F_8000, using imx_rproc_att_imx7d and 
imx_rproc_att_imx6sx respectively.

I have no information about IMX8 (i have found none available
publicity), but should be the same as Cortex-M boots from 0x0.
