Well, I think the R5 SPL initializes full DDR before starting firmwares
on remote cores and the regions used by this remote cores be it for IPC
or Code/data are marked as reserved both in Linux as well as U-boot so
that Linux/U-boot does not use it [1].

Same scheme is followed here w.r. t RTOS framebuffer too.
