[PATCH v4 0/4] imx9{4,5,52}: Add Quickboot support

[Simona Toaca (OSS)]

From: Simona Toaca <simona.toaca at nxp.com>

This patch series adds support for saving DDR training
data to non-volatile memory on iMX94, iMX95 and iMX952 platforms.
The purpose is running DDR Quickboot flow on next reboot.

The process is as follows:
- OEI runs Training flow for the DDRPHY
- OEI saves the data from training to volatile memory
- U-Boot can then save it to non-volatile memory (e.g. SD)
- OEI loads the data from NVM at cold reboot and runs Quickboot flow

By skipping training, a much lower boot time is achieved.

Changes for v4:
- add IMX_QB macro to include qb.c based on the boot phase
- change qb_ prefix to imx_qb_ for qb.c methods, to
be more specific
- add boot device macro to string conversion for the case
where the device is not explicitly specified
- pass quickboot args as strings and parse them in qb.c using
blk_device_get_by_str/blk_device_part_str (if they are blk devices).
This enables specifying mmc 0:2 for the boot1 partition of the eMMC
device.
- use blk device API instead of mmc-specific
- use SPI DM methods for spi flash read/write
- use malloc for storing container header instead of kmalloc
- add eMMC hwpart usage to the documentation
- sent the qb-unrelated patches separately

Changes for v3:
- Rebased and added support for iMX952
- Removed IMX_SNPS_DDR_PHY_QB_GEN macro, as it was not useful ->
now CMD_QB is enabled by default on the supported boards
- Removed unnecessary #ifdefs -> replaced with if (CONFIG..)
- Replaced spi_flash_probe with udevice_first_device_err to
avoid using SPI macros that needed ifdefs, since there is only
one SPI flash device available.
- Adnotated qb methods with qb_ to be easier to see in asm dump
- Removed explicit pointer casts from (void *)
- Replaced custom qb_crc32 with the U-Boot one
- Made eveything snake_case
- Enabled SFDP support for iMX943/95, as it is necessary for
proper erase size parsing (and is already present in iMX952 config)
- Improved documentation - explanation about the space in bootloader
- Added commit fixing a style issue in Kconfig

Changes for v2:
- Improved documentation to clarify the questions asked
- Detailed log messages for all commits
- Detailed Kconfig options for SPL_IMX_QB and CMD_IMX_QB
- Fixed the mentioned coding style issues
