Updated in v2.

Correct. Concatenated binary you get from building u-boot and ATF, which
includes wtmi, is flashed to offset zero.
I agree that firmware is more appropriate name for the partition,
updated in v2.

Updated in v2.

SPI is used insted of the EEPROM to save some hardware related info,
currently there are MAC addresses and serial number on that partition.

No, I don't think they should. I originally added dts for the 4.19
and there weren't usb2 related nodes there.
I'm disabling usb3 for the moment until I see what's going on,
as I'm currently working on adding u-boot support and a couple
of other things.

For the other comments, I think they are resolved by including
the espressobin dtsi instead of armada-37xx.
