Sorry for the delayed reply,
My tinylab email went something wrong, I'll use gmail in this thread.

At this time, OpenSbi [v0.8,v1.3) and edk2(RiscVVirt) indeed don't obey 
the DT/UEFI spec. This statement is excerpted from "Reserved memory for 
resident firmware" part from the upcoming riscv/boot.rst. It isn't 
accurate for now. How about deleting this one?

Actually with 3335068f8721 reverted, the change of MIN_MEMBLOCK_ADDR can 
avoid the mapping of firmware memory, I will make it clear in the next 
version.
