i.MX8ULP support using ROM API to load container image,
it use same ROM API as i.MX8MN/MP, and use same container format
as i.MX8QM/QXP.

On ARM, the gd pointer is stored in registers r9 / x18. For this the
-ffixed-r9 / -ffixed-x18 flag is used when compiling, but using global
register variables causes errors when building with LTO, and these
errors are very difficult to overcome.
Richard Biener says [1]:
Note that global register vars shouldn't be used with LTO and if they
are restricted to just a few compilation units the recommended fix is
to build those CUs without -flto.
We cannot do this for U-Boot since all CUs use -ffixed-reg flag.
It seems that with LTO we could in fact store the gd pointer differently
and gain performance or size benefit by allowing the compiler to use
r9 / x18. But this would need more work.
So for now, when building with LTO, go the clang way, and instead of
declaring gd a global register variable, we make it a function call via
macro.

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed. In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly. Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include <asm/global_data.h> at all, so
remove that include.

i.MX8MN support loading images with rom api, so we implement
reuse board_return_to_bootrom to let ROM loading images.
