Add gpio-reserved-ranges property to the tlmm node for all three
Shikra EVK variants (CQM, CQS, IQS) to mark GPIOs used by the
SoC internally and not available for general use.
These are generally added to prevent non-secure access upon TLMM
probe, i.e. the board won't boot if some of them are not protected.

I assume the proposed set contains both ones that are _absolutely
forbidden_ for Linux to touch, but also ones that are dedicated to
some specific purpose that Linux _shouldn't_ touch.
Yes, some GPIOs are reserved for secure-world use and are therefore not accessible from the non-secure world.
I will update the commit message accordingly.
I'm not sure how to read your response. In other words - is this
patch boot-critical?

Yes, with Access Policy enabled, it becomes boot-critical.

Thanks
