[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/5] common: introduce maximum load size

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>

Various commands that load images have no checks that a loaded image
does not exceed the available RAM space and will happily continue
overwriting u-boot or other RAM that should not be touched. Also,
some commands such as USB DFU or fastboot need to know the maximum
buffer size, but there is no common way to define this.

Introduce a global load_size and environment variable loadsize to
specify the size. The default is ~0UL which is effectively unlimited.
