Entry point address = 0x84000000 (linuxkernel1) gives IAC 137 error due to SERC 32

[DMårt]

When U-boot is going to startup at the entry point address = 0x84000000, then this happens.

IAC ID 137 is RISAF4 - DDR-SDRAM.

SERC ID 32 is USART2.

I don't know why USART2 seems to write at the Optee address region (0x82000000 - 0x83FFFFFF) and it all lands on 0x83FFFF80. The optee address region is secure and USART2 seems to write on this address.

I have attached my complete device tree and I wonder if the ST dev team can help me to find why USART2 is trying to access 0x83FFFF80 in DDR-SDRAM?

My processor is STM32MP257FAK.

Note 1: The difference between 0x84000000 and 0x83FFFF80 is 128, e.g one byte. So I guess that something is shifted wrongly here?

Note 2: I'm using LDO2 as VDDIO_SDCARD and BUCK7 for 3v3 for VDD_SDCARD. Because my PMIC is the STPMIC25A and not STPMIC25D.

Also, I'm using the USART6 as debug output. I don't know how exactly set the debug to USART6 in U-boot, but I guess I need to create a patch in Yocto for changing the stm32mp25_defconfig file?

The correct and expected output should be something like this:
