[PATCH] ARM: imx: Enable MMU and dcache very early on i.MX8M

Enable MMU and caches very early on in the boot process on i.MX8M
in U-Boot proper. This allows board_init_f to run with icache and
dcache enabled, which saves some 700 milliseconds of boot time on
i.MX8M Plus based device.
The 'bootstage report' output is below:
Before:
```
Timer summary in microseconds (8 records):
Mark Elapsed Stage
0 0 reset

1,921,474 102,600 eth_common_init
2,013,702 92,228 eth_initialize
2,015,238 1,536 main_loop
Accumulated time:
32,775 dm_r
289,165 dm_f
```
After:
