[PATCH 2/3] rockchip: Require an external TPL binary when TPL is missing

Rockchip SoCs typically use U-Boot TPL to initialize DRAM, then jumps
back to boot-rom to load the next stage of the boot flow, U-Boot SPL.

For RK356x there is currently no support to initialize DRAM using U-Boot
TPL and instead an external TPL binary must be used to generate a
working u-boot-rockchip.bin image.

Use the new external-tpl entry unless CONFIG_TPL=y to indicate that an
external TPL binary must be provided to generate a working firmware.
