Subject: [PATCH v2] Add in the ability to load and boot an uncompressed kernel
 image during the Falcon Mode boot sequence.

This is required for architectures which do not support compressed kernel images (i.e. ARM64).  This is only used while not booting via FIT image.

Changes for v2:
   - Remove original SPL_OS_BOOT_UNCOMPRESSED option and check via CMD_BOOTI and CMD_BOOTZ instead
