arm: init: save previous bootloader data
When u-boot is used as a chain-loaded bootloader (replacing OS kernel),
previous bootloader leaves data in RAM, that can be reused.
For example, on recent arm linux system, when chainloading u-boot,
there are initramfs and fdt in RAM prepared for OS booting. Initramfs
may be modified to store u-boot's payload, thus providing the ability to
use chainloaded u-boot to boot OS without any storage support.
Two config options added:
- SAVE_PREV_BL_INITRAMFS_START_ADDR
saves initramfs start address to 'prevbl_initrd_start_addr' environment
variable
- SAVE_PREV_BL_FDT_ADDR
saves fdt address to 'prevbl_fdt_addr' environment variable
