I am using OP-TEE in an i.MX8MN project successfully. The hardcoding of addresses
is indeed unfortunate and it needs manual adjustment depending on the size
of available RAM.

The common configuration is to reserve secure memory at the end of DRAM as not
to split the RAM in half. You should thus change the BL32 address used in TF-A
in alignment with barebox CONFIG_OPTEE_SIZE, which is always relative to the end
of RAM.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Ahmad
