Add SPI flash related options to support booting from SPI flash.

Add AHCI=y, SCSI_AHCI=y, AHCI_PCI=y and SCSI=y to support PCIe SATA
boot.

As we know, these boards have no standard connectors for PCI Express
expansion cards, which makes me wonder how many users actually use M.2
PCI Express modules with SATA controllers on them with these boards,
and need support for them in U-Boot?

I mean, it can't hurt, but frankly, I'm not 100% sure about it.

With the M.2 Extension Board [1] and a M.2 to PCIe X4 adapter it is
very
easy to convert the M.2 slot into a standard PCIe X4 slot and use it
with a PCIe SATA card. At least that is how I have tested and used
this.

I was aware of the M.2 extension board sold by Radxa, but frankly,
using it together with another adapter (M.2 to standard PCIe x4 slot)
is a cumbersome setup.  The whole thing becomes at least three times
the size of the SBC, with cables and a dangling PCIe card. :)

I know, it is not ideal, but works for my testing and development
proposes :-)

I had in mind an M.2 module with a PCIe SATA controller. [2] Something
like that, used together with the M.2 extension board, would actually
make a rather neat setup.

I guess the Radxa Penta SATA HAT [3] is most likely use case for having
PCIe AHCI enabled.

Ah, thanks for reminding me about this hat!  I saw it once or twice,
but I somehow forgot about it.  Yes, that's very nice, and surely a use
case for having AHCI support enabled.

I do think there will be many users of PCIe AHCI/SATA, but with this
series I try to get all boards to have same feature set as long as
there
is some way to use a feature.

I guess it can't hurt in the end.

Change to SPL_MAX_SIZE=0x40000, SPL can be up to 256 KiB.

Add ROCKCHIP_IODOMAIN=y to configure io-domain voltage.

Add PHY_REALTEK=y and DM_ETH_PHY=y to support ethernet PHY.

Remove SPL_TINY_MEMSET=y to use full memset in SPL.

Otherwise, looking good to me.
