Yes, 0x4C000100 is a part of memory under the reserved-memory node. So
we would like to use the SRAM ( allocated 0x00000000 ) area instead.
BTW, sorry, the trampoline address of this example is simply wrong. We
were going to use a part of the SRAM from the beginning.

We think it is not good to embed constant value in driver codes and do
not have another way...
Are there better ways?
