use the non-Kconfig defines CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START (and its SIZE).
This patch allows enabling CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN while leaving CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE disabled. In this case, the full malloc heap is made available as early as the simple_malloc heap would be normally.
Why not init SDRAM before using FAT?
This way, platforms can drop the non-Kconfig options to set up the full heap and rely on the same automatically calculated heap allocation used for simple heap.
