 /**
  * @Test_Aim@ Check a root region cannot be accessed from a secure partition.
  *
- * This change adds TFTF and cactus test to permit checking a root region
- * cannot be accessed from secure world.
  * A hardcoded address marked Root in the GPT is shared to a secure
- * partition. The SP retrieves the region from the SPM, maps it and
- * attempts a read access to the region. It is expected to trigger a GPF
- * data abort on the PE caught by a custom exception handler.
- *
+ * partition. The operation fails given the memory shared needs to be
+ * preconfigured in the memory ranges described in the SPMC manifest. The ranges
+ * related with S/NS memory that the SP can access shall never contain
+ * realm/root memory as this incurs into a configuration error.
+ * This test validates the SP can't get access to root memory via FF-A memory
+ * sharing interfaces.
