[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/9] MIPS: add possibility to setup initial stack and global data in SRAM

[Daniel Schwierzeck]

This adds a new Kconfig option CONFIG_MIPS_INIT_STACK_IN_SRAM which
a SoC can select if it supports some kind of SRAM. Together with
CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR the initial stack and global data can be
set up in that SRAM. This can be used to provide a C environment
also for lowlevel_init().

+	  Select this if the initial stack frame could be setup in SRAM.
+	  Normally the initial stack frame is set up in DRAM which is often
+	  only available after lowlevel_init. With this option the initial
+	  stack frame and the early C environment is set up before
+	  lowlevel_init. Thus lowlevel_init does not need to be implemented
