Hello Peter, Thanks for your reply.

In general, it looks like that the dumpdtb option dump incorrect the DTB file. Because when I saved the pointer to the DTB in my bootloader, it is in x0 register if I am right, and pass it to the Linux kernel then all is working fine. So for some reason dtb that is already in memory differs from that generated by the dumpdtb option. Thanks.
