Thanks for catching this... Will fix in v2...

Yes... Will add a comment in v2...

I thought the opposite way. Since it is reserved (and not a general purpose
remote core), it is unlikely boards out there are going to use a separate
firmware. Does it make sense to override this 'required' property with
the same value in every other board level file?... Here is a diff for 
just 2 of
the SoCs (J722S, AM62P). Let me know if you prefer this way and I will
fix in v2.

Right, will fix this in v2...

Sorry my bad.. Will fix in v2...
