Patrice, thanks much for testing and confirming the fix. I suspect
that the cpu's being used on the two boards might be different. Looks
like one implementation is speculatively prefetching data from the
op-tee memory region while other is not, which might explain why this
is not seen on all ST boards. Just a hunch though :)
