Typically the bloblist is set up after the devicetree is present. This
makes sense because bloblist may use malloc() to allocate the space it
needs.
However sometimes the devicetree itself may be present in the bloblist.
In that case it is at a known location in memory so we can init the
bloblist very early, before devicetree.
Add a flag to indicate whether the bloblist has been inited. Add a
function to init it only if needed. Use that in the init sequence.

When video is set up in SPL, U-Boot proper needs to use the correct
parameters so it can write to the display.
Put these in a bloblist so they are available to U-Boot proper.

This implementation is intended to be copied to other projects and
modified, to as to foster a standard means of communcating runtime
information between firmware projects.
The GPL-2 license is too restrictive for some projects, e.g. those
intended as reference implementations rather than designed for
collaborative open-source development.
Update the license to make this easier to share.

FIx up various minor errors and add the API documentation to the bloblist

At present we do support allocating the bloblist but the Kconfig is a bit
strange, since we still have to specify an address in that case. Partly
this is because it is a pain to have CONFIG options that disappears when
its dependency is enabled. It means that we must have #ifdefs in the code,
either in the C code or header file.
Make use of IF_ENABLED_INT() and its friend to solve that problem, so we
can separate out the location of bloblist into a choice. Put the address
and size into variables so we can log the result.
Add the options for SPL as well, so we can use CONFIG_IS_ENABLED().

At present if someone adds a tag in the middle of the list it works well
enough within a U-Boot build. But if these tags are used in another
project, or with an older version of SPL, the numbers make become
inconsistent.
Use explicit tag numbers that never change, to resolve this problem.
Allocate areas for existing U-Boot tags and set up an area for use by
projects and vendors, as well as for private use. Keep tags above
0x10000 unallocated for now.
Update bloblist_tag_name() and the tests to work with this new setup.

It seems best to put the magic number right at the start of the bloblist
header, so it is easier to check. This is how devicetree works.
Make this change now, before other projects make use of bloblist. Other
changes may be needed / discussed, but that is TBD.
Add a checker function as well.

Sometimes a blob needs to expand, e.g. because it needs to hold more log

Typically in TPL/SPL the bloblist is quite small. But U-Boot proper may
want to add a lot more to it, such as ACPI tables.
Add a way to expand the bloblist by relocating it in U-Boot proper, along
with the other relocation activities.

At present all tables are placed starting at address f0000 in memory, and
can be up to 64KB in size. If the tables are very large, this may not
provide enough space.
Also if the tables point to other tables (such as console log or a ramoops
area) then we must allocate other memory anyway.
The bloblist is a nice place to put these tables since it is contiguous,
which makes it easy to reserve this memory for linux using the 820 tables.
Add an option to put some of the tables in the bloblist. For SMBIOS and
ACPI, create suitable pointers from the f0000 region to the new location
of the tables.

It is helpful to be able to see basic statistics about the bloblist and
also to list its contents. Add a 'bloblist' command to handle this.
Put the display functions in the bloblist modules rather than in the
command code itself. That allows showing a list from SPL, where commands
are not available.
Also make bloblist_first/next_blob() static as they are not used outside

At present there is no standard way in U-Boot to pass information from SPL
to U-Boot proper. But sometimes SPL wants to convey information to U-Boot
that U-Boot cannot easily figure out. For example, if SPL sets up SDRAM
then it might want to pass the size of SDRAM, or the location of each
bank, to U-Boot proper.
Add a new 'bloblist' feature which provides this. A bloblist is set up in
the first phase of U-Boot that runs (i.e. TPL or SPL). The location of
this info may be in SRAM or CAR (x86 cache-as-RAM) or somewhere else.
Information placed in this region is preserved (with a checksum) through
TPL and SPL and ends up in U-Boot. At this point it is copied into SDRAM
so it can be used after relocation.
