Some UniPhier boards are equipped with an expansion slot that
some optional SRAM/NOR-flash cards can be attached to. So, run-time
detection of the number of flash banks would be more user-friendly.
Until this commit, UniPhier boards have achieved this by (ab)using
board_flash_wp_on() because the boot failed if flash_size got zero.
Fortunately, this problem was solved by commit 70879a9256 (flash:
do not fail even if flash_size is zero).
Now it is possible to throw away such a tricky workaround. This
commit also enables CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS_DETECT for further
refactoring.

Detect the board revision early during boot, and print the decoded
model name.
Eventually, this information can be used for tasks such as:
- Allowing/preventing USB device mode; some models have a USB device on-
board so only host mode makes sense. Others connect the SoC directly
to the USB connector, so device-mode might make sense.
- The on-board USB hub/Ethernet requires different GPIOs to enable it,
although luckily the default appears to be fine so far.
- The compute module contains an on-board eMMC device, so we could store
the environment there. Other models use an SD card and so don't support
saving the environment (unless we store it in a file on the FAT boot
partition...)

Some platforms don't have native code for dealing with their video
hardware. In some cases they use a binary blob to set it up and perform
required actions like setting the video mode. This approach is a hangover
from the old PC days where a ROM was provided and executed during startup.
Even now, these ROMs are supplied as a way to set up video. It avoids the
code for every video chip needing to be provided in the boot loader. But
it makes the video much less flexible - e.g. it is not possible to do
anything else while the video init is happening (including waiting hundreds
of milliseconds for display panels to start up).
In any case, to deal with this sad state of affairs, provide an API for
execution of x86 video ROMs, either natively or through emulation.
