[U-Boot] [PATCH 5/5] arm: ti: boot: Implement Android boot using DT image format

Make sure we can boot Android on TI boards using scheme described in
Android documentation [1]. For this do next:
 1. Enable "dtimg" command. We will need it to boot the Android using
    new DTB/DTBO image format.
 2. Add fdt overlay support. We will need that to be able to apply fdt
    overlays to dtb file.
 3. Provide new Android boot commands. In case we don't know what board
    it is, let's provide fallback mechanism:
     - use just dtb[0] from dtb.img
     - don't apply any dtbo files on top of it
     - but still that dtb file must be packed into Android DT image

To use new boot scheme, user has to do next:

1. Prepare dtb.img and dtbo.img images, generated with mkdtimg tool (can
   be found in Android sources, see prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/libufdt).
   Example:

   $ ./mkdtimg create dtb.img                            \
                      am57xx-beagle-x15.dtb      --id=0  \
                      am57xx-beagle-x15-revc.dtb --id=1

   $ ./mkdtimg create dtbo.img \
                      am57xx-evm-common.dtbo     --id=0  \
                      mt9t111.dtbo               --id=1  \
                      ov10635.dtbo               --id=2  \
                      am57xx-evm.dtbo            --id=3  \
                      am57xx-evm-reva3.dtbo      --id=4

   Current boot commands rely on that specific order of dtb/dtbo files.
   Also, be sure to compile .dtb files with -@ dtc flag, so that
   overlays can be applied to dtb files.

2. Flash new U-Boot, set new environment and format eMMC:

   $ fastboot flash xloader MLO
   $ fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.img

   => env default -f -a
   => setenv partitions $partitions_android
   => env save
   => fastboot 1

   $ fastboot oem format

3. Flash dtb.img, dtbo.img:

   $ fastboot flash dtb dtb.img
   $ fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

4. Flash Android images:

   $ fastboot flash boot boot.img
   $ fastboot flash cache cache.img
   $ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
   $ fastboot flash system system.img
   $ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
   $ fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
