[U-Boot] [PATCH 04/11] spl: imx: Add optional lds to keep SPL entirely in on-chip RAM

From: Henry Beberman <henry.beberman at microsoft.com>

This patch is part of the i.MX Windows 10 IoT Core boot flow.

It adds a modified linker script for SPL to keep all segments in
on-chip ram. This is to harden the device against potential leaks of
device secrets by keeping them out of DRAM.

Additionally if CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START is defined, it will
override the CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE and allocate space in DRAM
instead of on-chip ram. This patch prevents the definition of those
values for i.MX6 and i.MX7 SPL if CONFIG_OPTEE_SPL_BOOT is selected.
