When booting in JTAG mode, there is no way to use soft break-points, and
no way of knowing when SPL has finished executing (so the user can issue
a 'halt' command to load u-boot.bin for example)
Add a debug output and simple loop to stop execution at the completion of
the SPL initialisation as a pseudo break-point when booting in JTAG mode

It is difficult to track down fail to boot issues in the mxs SPL.
Implement the following to make it easier:
- Add debug outputs to allow tracing of SPL progress in order to track
where failure to boot occurs. DEUBUG and CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT must
be defined to enable debug output in SPL
- Add TODO comments where it is not clear if the code is doing what it
is meant to be doing, even tough the board boots properly (these comments
refer to existing code, not to any code added by this patch)

There are a number of places where U-Boot intentionally and legally
accesses physical address 0x0000, for example when installing
exception vectors on systems where these are located in low memory.
Add "cppcheck-suppress nullPointer" comments to silence cppcheck
where this is intentional and legal.

Add support for serial console into the i.MX23/i.MX28 SPL. A full,
uncrippled serial console support comes very helpful when debugging
various spectacular hardware bringup issues early in the process.
Because we do not use SPL framework, but have our own minimalistic
SPL, which is compatible with the i.MX23/i.MX28 BootROM, we do not
use preloader_console_init(), but instead use a similar function to
start the console. Nonetheless, to avoid blowing up the size of the
SPL binary, this support is enabled only if CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
is defined, which is disabled by default.

When using HAB, there are additional special requirements on the placement of
U-Boot and the U-Boot SPL in memory. To fullfill these, this patch moves the
U-Boot binary a little further from the begining of the DRAM, so the HAB CST
and IVT can be placed in front of the U-Boot binary. This is necessary, since
both the U-Boot and the IVT must be contained in single CST signature. To
make things worse, the IVT must be concatenated with one more entry at it's
end, that is the length of the entire CST signature, IVT and U-Boot binary
in memory. By placing the blocks in this order -- CST, IVT, U-Boot, we can
easily align them all and then produce the length field as needed.
As for the SPL, on i.MX23/i.MX28, the SPL size is limited to 32 KiB, thus
we place the IVT at 0x8000 offset, CST right past IVT and claim the size
is correct. The HAB library accepts this setup.
Finally, to make sure the vectoring in SPL still works even after moving
the SPL from 0x0 to 0x1000, we add a small function which copies the
vectoring code and tables to 0x0. This is fine, since the vectoring code
is position independent.

Make sure value in register r0 and r1 is preserved and passed to
the board_init_ll() and mxs_common_spl_init() where it can be
processed further. The value in r0 can be configured during the
BootStream generation to arbitary value, r1 contains pointer to
return value from CALL'd function.
This patch also clears the value in r0 before returning to BootROM
to make sure the BootROM is not confused by this value.
Finally, this patch cleans up some comments in the start.S file.

Remove the empty bodies from serial_* functions from MXS SPL code.
These empty implementations are now in common/serial.c instead so
declaring them also in the SPL code would cause a colision once
serial multi is enabled unconditionally.
