This patch scans the cmdline from the Samsung SBL (second stage
bootloader) and stores the parameters board_id=N and lcdtype=N
in order to augment the DTB for different board and LCD types.
We then add a custom ft_board_setup() callback that will inspect
the DTB and patch it using the stored LCD type. At this point
we know which product we are dealing with, so using the passed
board_id we can also print the board variant for diagnostics.
We patch the Codina, Skomer and Kyle DTBs to use the right
LCD type as passed in lcdtype from the SBL.
This also creates an infrastructure for handling any other
Samsung U8500 board variants that may need a slightly augmented
DTB.

With the exceptions of ds109, ds414, icnova-a20-swac, nokia_rx51 and
stemmy, disable ATAG support. A large number of platforms had enabled
support but never supported a kernel so old as to require it. Further,
some platforms are old enough to support both, but are well supported by
devicetree booting, and have been for a number of years. This is
because some of the ATAGs related functions have been re-used to provide
the same kind of information, but for devicetree or just generally to
inform the user. When needed still, rename these functions to
get_board_revision() instead, to avoid conflicts. In other cases, these
functions were simply unused, so drop them.

Make use of the new drivers for ARM U8500 introduced in the U-Boot
2021.10 merge window by adding basic support for USB Fastboot with
the "stemmy" board. As a first step this will always boot directly
into USB Fastboot for now with the console displayed on the screen
to make that obvious.
Samsung uses quite strange GPT partition labels on these boards,
so also add a bunch of fastboot_partition_alias_* to make this more
easy to use.

This converts the following to Kconfig:
CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
In order to do this, we need to introduce SPL and TPL variants of these
options so that we can clearly disable these options only in SPL in some
cases, and both instances in other cases.

At the moment the "stemmy" board attempts to detect the RAM size with
a simple memory test (get_ram_size()). Unfortunately, this does not work
correctly for devices with 768 MiB RAM (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
(GT-I8160), "codina"). Reading/writing memory after the 768 MiB RAM
succeeds but actually overwrites some earlier parts of the memory.
For U-Boot this does not result in any major problems, but on Linux
this will eventually lead to strange crashes because of the memory
corruption.
Since the "stemmy" U-Boot port is designed to be chainloaded from
the original Samsung bootloader, the most reliable way to get the
available amount of RAM is to look at the ATAGS passed by the Samsung
bootloader. Fortunately, the header used to generate ATAGS in U-Boot
(asm/setup.h) can also be easily used to parse them.
Also clarify and simplify stemmy.h a bit to make it more clear where
some of the magic values in there are actually coming from.

The ST-Ericsson U8500 SoC has been used in mass-production for
some Android smartphones released around 2012.
In particular, Samsung has released more than 5 different
smartphones based on U8500, e.g.
- Samsung Galaxy S III mini (GT-I8190) "golden"
- Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) "janice"
- Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 (GT-S7710) "skomer"
and a few others.
Mainline Linux has great support for the Ux500 SoC, so these
smartphones can also run Linux mainline quite well.
Unfortunately, the original Samsung bootloader used on these devices
has limitations that prevent booting Linux mainline directly.
It keeps the L2 cache enabled, which causes Linux to crash very early,
shortly after decompressing the kernel.
Using U-Boot allows to circumvent these limitations. We can let the
Samsung bootloader chain-load U-Boot and U-Boot locks the L2 cache
before booting into Linux. U-Boot has several other advantages
- it supports device-trees directly and we are no longer limited to
flashing Android boot images through Samsung's proprietary download
mode.
The Samsung "stemmy" board covers all Samsung devices based on U8500.
Add minimal support for "stemmy". For now only UART is supported but
this will be extended later.
