[PATCH v31 7/7] arm64: dts: imx8ulp: add reserved memory for EdgeLock Enclave
From: pankaj . gupta
Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 06:51:26 EST
From: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta@xxxxxxx>
Reserve 1MB of DDR for the EdgeLock Enclave. The enclave hardware can only
access DDR in the 0x80000000 - 0xafffffff window, so constrain the pool to
that range with alloc-ranges and let the kernel choose the placement rather
than hardcoding an address.
Provide this as a shared imx8ulp-firmware.dtsi that also enables the hsm0
node and wires up its memory-region, so every i.MX8ULP board can bring up
the enclave with a single include instead of duplicating the reserved
memory node. Include it from imx8ulp-evk.

Changes from v30 to v31:
- Kernel is free to choose the exact placement of the 1 MiB block, as long
as it lands inside the ELE-accessible window. This avoids hardcoding a
fixed address.
- Adds a new shared imx8ulp-firmware.dtsi that also enables the hsm0
node and wires up its memory-region, so every i.MX8ULP board can bring up
the enclave with a single include instead of duplicating the reserved
memory node. Include it from imx8ulp-evk.
