arm64: dts: broadcom: bcmbca: bcm4908: Reserve CFE stub area
The CFE bootloader places a stub program in the first page of physical memory to hold the secondary CPUs until the boot CPU writes the release address, but does not splice a /reserved-memory node into the FDT to protect it. If Linux overwrites this program before execution reaches smp_prepare_cpus(), the secondary CPUs may become inaccessible. This is only a problem with CFE, and then only until the secondary CPUs are brought online. Ideally, there would be some hypothetical mechanism we could use to indicate that this area of memory is sensitive only during boot. But as there is none, and since it is such a small amount of memory, it is easiest to reserve it unconditionally. Therefore, add a /reserved-memory node to bcm4908.dtsi to protect the first 4KiB of physical memory.
