[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: socfpga: provide default SPL_SIZE_LIMIT for gen5

This provides an SPL_SIZE_LIMIT that makes the build check that the SPL binary loaded from flash fits into the SRAM (64 KiB) and leaves enough room for global data, heap and stack (512 bytes assumed stack usage).

512 bytes for stack looks like it's too little. I think the SPL started misbehaving when it overgrew 50 kiB, no ?

To 1: Well, I tested the stack usage once, booting from eMMC, and was somewhere below that range. But yes, it's a problem for the future: once we get a more stack-consuming function, we might be lost. Which size would you suggest?
To 2: No. The documentation says 60 KiB would be the limit (upper 4 KiB reserved for BootRom usage while loading SPL). I'm running SPL with the DM_CLK driver (still under development) with a binary (code + dtb) of about 58 KiB and it runs fine. Heap size before relocation increases to around 4KiB though, so that ensures the 60 KiB limit isn't breached.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, the stack gets relocated to DRAM quite early too, right ? So maybe we really don't need that much space for stack.

OK, thanks for checking.

Exactly. The only stack-consuming things before relocation are dts parsing and maybe the ddr driver. I implemented a stack usage check by filling the memory with 0xaa and checking it afterwards and if I remember correctly it resulted in about 400 bytes. It's even more or less independent of the boot type since the ski/mmc drivers are probed only after DDR is up. Same goes for file systems.
Nevertheless, stack usage can increase in the future. That's why I'm not too happy about this constant. Otoh, DM_CLK makes me need every byte and right now I don't see how I can enable secure boot (fit signature check) due to this size limit...

Maybe before we add more bloat, we should consider how to trim the bloat down first ?

One of the reasons why I haven't sent the clk driver patches yet.
Anyway, I'll be off for at least a week now, I just wanted to get this one in before the release.
I hope I'll be working on SPL size after that... 64 KiB not being enough is just ridicculous...
