Yeah. The host tool always support plugin code now. But need to define
CONFIG_USE_IMXIMG_PLUGIN to compile plugin.S.

I try to follow, are you talking about chained plugin images?
Now we only support two IVT headers when using plugin.
The first IVT header is for the plugin image, the second ivt header is for
uboot image.

Confirmed with ROM team. DCD and plugin are exclusive,

You can not have both at the same time.

There are two IVT headers when using plugin, the 0x907000 is for the first IVT
header, 0x87800000 in command line is for the second IVT header.

There are two IVT headers for plugin. In this block, the second IVT also
needs to be handled.

Confirmed with ROM team, there is no limitation. But SPL code needs to be small
to be in OCRAM.
I'll rework this piece code to drop this limitation.

parse_cfg_cmd is to parse the CMD, parse_cfg_fld is to handle the second argument.
This is the design of imximage.c to parse xx.cfg file. I do not want to break this.
