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 961,363 961,363 board_init_f 1,818,874 857,511 board_init_r 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 ```
