Add a new config option to allow u-boot to reuse the FDT provided by the previous stage bootloader when available.
On some boards the previous stage bootloader can populate platform-specific parts of the devicetree such as the memory node, this allows us to avoid hardcoding it in u-boot and instead determine it dynamically at runtime.

This patch will improve generic support for Qualcomm boards by enabling us to configure the memory map at runtime rather than having hardcoded maps on a per-device basis. I've gone for this approach initially to try and avoid introducing board specific code where possible, but I'm happy to rework this into mach-snapdragon if that's preferred.

So what is different with this instead of using save_boot_params ? I'm not saying this isn't needed, but I don't immediately see why save_boot_params + (OF_HAS_PRIOR_STAGE=y&&OF_BOARD=y) isn't the solution to the problem.
