[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 4/5] On-chip ROM boot: MPC8536DS support

The MPC8536E is capable of booting from the on-chip ROM - boot from
eSDHC and boot from eSPI. When power on, the porcessor excutes the
ROM code to initialize the eSPI/eSDHC controller, and loads the mian
U-Boot image from the memory device that interfaced to the controller,
such as the SDCard or SPI EEPROM, to the target memory, e.g. SDRAM or
L2SRAM, then boot from it.

The memory device should contain a specific data structure with control
word and config word at the fixed address. The config word direct the
process how to config the memory device, and the control word direct
the processor where to find the image on the memory device, or where
copy the main image to. The user can use any method to store the data
structure to the memory device, only if store it on the assigned address.

The on-chip ROM code will map the whole 4GB address space by setting
entry0 in the TLB1, so the main image need to switch to Address space 1
to disable this mapping and map the address space again.

This patch implements loading the mian U-Boot image into L2SRAM, so
the image can configure the system memory by using SPD EEPROM. But save
the env variables to NOWHERE.
