You are correct, ideally this shouldn't be needed. However, this driver contains
hardcode TCM addresses that were used before TCM bindings were designed and available in
device-tree. This check is provided to maintain backward compatibility with device-tree
where TCM isn't expected.

For new platforms (Versal and Versal-NET) TCM must be provided in device-tree and for
ZynqMP if it's not in device-tree then to maintain backward compatibility hardcode
addresses are used.

Thanks.
