Tom Rini b9d66a061b imx: Convert SERIAL_TAG support to ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
No iMX platforms have supported ATAG-based booting.  They have however
re-used the CONFIG_SERIAL_TAG option as a way to enable support of
reading the OTP fuses and setting the serial# environment variable in
some cases.  Change the warp7 support to use this symbol, use this for
updating the rest of the imx7 code, and update the imx8 conditionals.

How to Update U-Boot on Warp7 board
----------------------------------

Required software on the host PC:

- imx_usb_loader: https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader

- dfu-util: http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/releases/ (if you are in a
Debian distribution then you can get it via libdfu-dev package)

- libusb: http://libusb.org/ (if you are in a Debian distribution
then you can get it via libusb-dev and libusb-1.0-0-dev)

In U-Boot folder, build U-Boot for Warp7:

$ make mrproper
$ make warp7_config
$ make

This will generate the U-Boot binary called u-boot-dtb.imx.

Put warp7 board in USB download mode: 

Remove the CPU board from the base board then put switch 2 in the upper
position

Connect a USB to serial adapter between the host PC and warp7

Connect a USB cable between the OTG warp7 port and the host PC

Copy u-boot-dtb.imx to the imx_usb_loader folder.

Load u-boot-dtb.imx via USB:

$ sudo ./imx_usb u-boot-dtb.imx

Then U-Boot should start and its messages will appear in the console program.

Open a terminal program such as minicom

Use the default environment variables:

=> env default -f -a
=> saveenv

Run the DFU command:
=> dfu 0 mmc 0

Transfer u-boot-dtb.imx that will be flashed into the eMMC:

$ sudo dfu-util -D u-boot-dtb.imx -a boot

Then on the U-Boot prompt the following message should be seen after a
successful upgrade:

#DOWNLOAD ... OK
Ctrl+C to exit ...

Remove power from the warp7 board.

Put warp7 board into normal boot mode (put the switch 2 in the lower position)

Power up the board and the new updated U-Boot should boot from eMMC
