[PATCH 1/2] mx6sabresd: Fix U-Boot corruption after saving the environment

From: Fabio Estevam <festevam at denx.de>

U-Boot binary has grown in such a way that it goes beyond the reserved
area for the environment variables.
    
Running "saveenv" and rebooting the board causes U-Boot to hang because
of this overlap.
    
Fix this problem by increasing the CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
    
Also, to prevent this same problem to happen in the future, use
CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT, which can detect the overlap in build-time.
    
CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT is calculated as follows:

CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT = CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET - u-boot-img.dtb offset
CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT = 0xd000 - 69 * 1024
CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT = 781312
