[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 11/18] dm: Reduce SPL device tree size

[Simon Glass]

The SPL device tree size must be minimised to save memory. Only include
properties that are needed by SPL - this is determined by the presence
of the "u-boot,dm-pre-reloc" property. Also remove a predefined list of
unused properties from the nodes that remain.

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to reduce SPL device tree size with fdtgrep
