I just finally caught up with this patch, Sorry for the late
response-> Thank you for clearly elaborating this in commit message,
BUT:

Can we start documenting this in rst after we have incorporated the
binman changes? The memory map on the SRAM is a black magic(at least
for me) that needs explanation in a single doc without needing to dig
through commit messages and variables and defconfigs..

Documentation should clearly indicate what parameters from:
* binman configuration.
* various config header files
* defconfig

We should explain the rationale, variations (HS-SE for example: if any
or if not any) - including risks such as stack-heap collisions. Any
interplay with firmware components in the heterogenous system that folks
need to be careful about needs to be called out as well.
