With one day bisect, I finally fond the mainline u-boot support for rk3036
was broken by this commit f113d7d30346 (" Convert CONFIG_SPL_STACK to Kconfig")

It makes rk3036 can't set SPL_STACK as rk3036 can't enable SPL_FRAMEWORK(very small sram)

I still don't have a proper patch to fix this issue.

Thank you very much for you explanation.
I think i should not add psci to mainline before the tee binary can be used by mainline u-boot.

Nice holidays!
