[PATCH v2 1/2] spl: Use standard FIT entries

SPL is creating fit-images DT node when loadables are recorded in selected
configuration. Entries which are created are using entry-point and
load-addr property names. But there shouldn't be a need to use non standard
properties because entry/load are standard FIT properties. But using
standard FIT properties enables option to use generic FIT functions to
descrease SPL size. Here is result for ZynqMP virt configuration:
xilinx_zynqmp_virt: spl/u-boot-spl:all -82 spl/u-boot-spl:rodata -22 spl/u-boot-spl:text -60

The patch causes change in run time fit image record.
Before:
fit-images {
        uboot {
                os = "u-boot";
                type = "firmware";
                size = <0xfd520>;
                entry-point = <0x8000000>;
                load-addr = <0x8000000>;
        };
};

After:
fit-images {
        uboot {
                os = "u-boot";
                type = "firmware";
                size = <0xfd520>;
                entry = <0x8000000>;
                load = <0x8000000>;
        };
};

Replacing calling fdt_getprop_u32() by fit_image_get_entry/load() also
enables support for reading entry/load properties recorded in 64bit format.

Changes in v2:
- Also fix opensbi
- Add record to doc/uImage.FIT/howto.txt - reported by Simon

Would be good to know history of fit-images and it's property names but
there shouldn't be a need to use non standard names where we have
FIT_*_PROP recorded as macros in include/image.h.

Concern regarding backward compatibility is definitely valid but not sure
how many systems can be affected by this change.

Adding temporary support for entry-point/load-addr is also possible.
Or second way around is to create new wrappers as
fit_image_get_entry_point()/fit_image_get_load_addr() or
call fit_image_get_address() directly.

+
+Loadables Example
+-----------------
+Consider the following case for an ARM64 platform where U-Boot runs in EL2
+started by ATF where SPL is loading U-Boot (as loadables) and ATF (as firmware).
+
+/dts-v1/;
+
+/ {
+	description = "Configuration to load ATF before U-Boot";
+
+	images {
+		uboot {
+			description = "U-Boot (64-bit)";
+			data = /incbin/("u-boot-nodtb.bin");
+			type = "firmware";
+			os = "u-boot";
+			arch = "arm64";
+			compression = "none";
+			load = <0x8000000>;
+			entry = <0x8000000>;
+			hash {
+				algo = "md5";
+			};
+		};
+		atf {
+			description = "ARM Trusted Firmware";
+			data = /incbin/("bl31.bin");
+			type = "firmware";
+			os = "arm-trusted-firmware";
+			arch = "arm64";
+			compression = "none";
+			load = <0xfffea000>;
+			entry = <0xfffea000>;
+			hash {
+				algo = "md5";
+			};
+		};
+		fdt_1 {
+			description = "zynqmp-zcu104-revC";
+			data = /incbin/("arch/arm/dts/zynqmp-zcu104-revC.dtb");
+			type = "flat_dt";
+			arch = "arm64";
+			compression = "none";
+			load = <0x100000>;
+			hash {
+				algo = "md5";
+			};
+		};
+	};
+	configurations {
+		default = "config_1";
+
+		config_1 {
+			description = "zynqmp-zcu104-revC";
+			firmware = "atf";
+			loadables = "uboot";
+			fdt = "fdt_1";
+		};
+	};
+};
+
+In this case the SPL records via fit-images DT node the information about
+loadables U-Boot image.
+
+ZynqMP> fdt addr $fdtcontroladdr
+ZynqMP> fdt print /fit-images
+fit-images {
+	uboot {
+		os = "u-boot";
+		type = "firmware";
+		size = <0x0011f430>;

+		load = <0x00000000 0x08000000>;
+	};
+};
+
+As you can see entry and load properties are 64bit wide to support loading
+images above 4GB (in past entry and load properties where just 32bit).
