When the PSCI is left in RAM, does it consist of the entire u-boot
image, or is somehow just the PSCI component left?

I'm curious how placing the code in another object file affects the
PSCI binary.

I see this problem was known before I found it.  It would be nice if a
fix could go in before others also find it and waste time
investigating.

It is also the case the reset code in the PSCI does not work on imx7
for some time now, for boards with a reset design following NXP's
recommendations.  This is not hard to change, I've already done so
locally for our product affected by this.

Must these problems remain unaddressed until some future redesign or
major patch from NXP fixes them?
