[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 1/5] arm: Reduce the scope of lowlevel_init()

[Simon Glass]

This function has grown into something of a monster. Some boards are setting
up a console and DRAM here in SPL. This requires global_data which should be
set up in one place (crt0.S).

There is no need for SPL to use s_init() for anything since board_init_f()
is called immediately afterwards.
