rockchip: rk3188: use boot0 hook to load up SPL in 2 steps
For the RK3188, the BROM will attempt to load up the first stage image (SPL for the RK3188) in two steps: first 1KB to offset 0x800 in the SRAM and then the remainder to offset 0xc00 in the SRAM. It always enters at 0x804, though. With this changeset, the RK3188 boot removes the TPL (stub) stage and builds a single SPL binary that utilizes the early back-to-bootrom via the boot0-hook. Consequently, the passing of the saved boot params via pmu->os_reg[2] is also removed. Signed-off-by: Philipp Tomsich <philipp.tomsich@theobroma-systems.com>

The bootrom of rk3188 expects to find a small 1kb loader which returns
control to the bootrom, after which it will load the real loader, which

Additionally the rk3188 requires everything the bootrom loads to be
rc4-encrypted. Except for the very first stage the bootrom always reads
and decodes 2kb pages, so files should be sized accordingly.
