spl: Tidy up SPL/TPL malloc sizes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The current help talks about relocation which doesn't apply to SPL and
TPL. Update it to avoid confusion.

Also make the TPL size default to the same as the SPL size, since this is
more likely to be a useful value than the one used by U-Boot proper, which
may be quite a bit larger.

In SPL memory is very limited on many platforms. Still,
we can provide a small malloc() pool if needed. Driver model in
particular needs this to operate, so that it can allocate the
initial serial device and any others that are needed.

It is possible to enable CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START to start a new
malloc() region in SDRAM once it is inited.
