[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/4] ARM: tegra: check for SPL size overflow in makefile

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

If the SPL extends beyond CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, then it will likely
corrupt the main U-Boot binary during execution, causing the main U-Boot
binary to fail. Check for this situation during the build to avoid
extremely annoying and hard-to-find bugs. Note that checking the size of
u-boot-spl.bin is not enough, since BSS size doesn't affect the size of
u-boot-spl.bin.
