In order to be able to use things like file system drivers early on in SPL (before relocation) in a memory-constrained environment when DDR is not yet available we cannot use the simple malloc scheme which does not implement the freeing of previously allocated memory blocks. To address this issue go ahead and enable the use of the full malloc by manually initializing the required functionality inside board_init_f by creating a full malloc pool inside the pre-relocation malloc pool.
