 * To i.MX6SX and i.MX7D, the image supported by bootaux needs
 * the reset vector at the head for the image, with SP and PC
 * as the first two words.
 *
 * Per the cortex-M reference manual, the reset vector of M4 needs
 * to exist at 0x0 (TCMUL). The PC and SP are the first two addresses
 * of that vector.  So to boot M4, the A core must build the M4's reset
 * vector with getting the PC and SP from image and filling them to
 * TCMUL. When M4 is kicked, it will load the PC and SP by itself.
 * The TCMUL is mapped to (M4_BOOTROM_BASE_ADDR) at A core side for
 * accessing the M4 TCMUL.
