[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/5] rockchip: back-to-bootrom: rk3188: chain from SPL via TPL to the BROM

The RK3188 implementation previously passed the address of the stack
frame created during save_boot_params via pmu->os_reg[2]. This was not
strictly necessary, as the save_boot_params() function was called
twice (first: for TPL, saving the context for the BROM; next: for SPL,
saving the context for the TPL) and a back-to-bootrom from the SPL
would thus return to TPL.

To simplify things, we now assume that the state of the TPL is not
corrupted during SPL (the binaries are non-overlapping) and that the
SPL can safely return to TPL using the back-to-bootrom mechanism.
Consequently, the TPL should expect the SPL to return control and then
further return to the actual bootrom by performing another
back-to-bootrom transition.

Changes in v2:
- [added in v2] chain back_to_bootrom calls for SPL, first returning
  to the TPL (using the same mechanism) and the to the BROM from the
  TPL
