Having the kernel enforce that the DT node is present and at the right
location, I think, is helpful for the bootloader folks to ensure they
write correct DTs.

Granted. But then I wonder... why do we bother to put the BootROM in the
DT window if we're going to check for a fixed address it in any case?

Code re-use in the mbus driver?

Maybe future SOCs in this family will have programmable SMP startup
addresses?

Non-SMP systems don't need to map the boot rom at all?

Three great answers :)
