[PATCH 3/3] configs: stm32mp1: Fix misleading SPL size limitations

A now removed comment promises to "limit SYSRAM usage to first 128 KB".
This would imply that only SYSRAM from 0x2ffc0000 - 0x2ffe0000 would be
used. This is not what happens at all.

First, SPL_MAX_SIZE is referenced from SPL_TEXT_BASE, which on all
existing configs is set to 0x2ffc2500, not SYSRAM_BASE (0x2ffc0000).
Some of it is in the first 128 KiB and some of it is in the second
128 KiB chunk of SYSRAM.

Second, SPL_MAX_SIZE, does not restrict the BSS size. While a valiant
attempt is made via SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE, the value of 0x00100000 is much
larger than SYSRAM, and doesn't account for the non-BSS sections.

Because we're putting the .text and .bss in the same boat, the correct
way to limit them together is via SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT. With the current
SPL_TEXT_BASE, we couldn't limit even a very basic SPL to the first
128 KiB, and there is no technical reason to do so. Because of this,
simply allow the SPL to use all SYSRAM.
