Huh, apparently U-Boot is running at EL3 and loads barebox at EL3
as well. EL3 barebox tries to load PPA (secure monitor) and that fails.
This shouldn't happen with normal boots though, because:

 - if barebox runs at EL3, nothing besides BootROM has run before it,
   so it can load the PPA normally, which returns to barebox in EL2
 - if barebox runs at EL2, it will automatically skip installation
   of the PPA

Cheers,
Ahmad
