Side note on LPAE:
For our current device tree and u-boot, LPAE is mandatory to bootup
for current Keystone boards - but this is not a SoC requirement,
booting without LPAE/HIGHMEM results in non-coherent DDR accesses.

This sounds like a regression, I thought we had this working when
keystone was initially merged and we got both the coherent and
non-coherent mode working with the same DT.

Yes and it works. The coherent memory space itself is beyond 4GB so

Hmm... True, I just tested next-20160602 with mem_lpae set to 0 in
u-boot and it seems to boot just fine.

I don't understand a requirement of having coherent memory without
LPAE.

Looks like a messed up description on my end, Looks like I have to
update my automated test framework to incorporate the manual steps
involved.

No worries. Am glad you got your setup working.
