Add support for loading the next stage from an MTD device in SPL.

Introduce CONFIG_SPL_MTD_LOAD and a generic SPL MTD loader
implementation that uses the MTD subsystem to read the U-Boot payload.

The loader works with any MTD-backed storage, including raw NAND and
SPI NAND, without being tied to a specific NAND type.

The payload offset defaults to CONFIG_SYS_MTD_U_BOOT_OFFS and can be
overridden via the device tree property:

     u-boot,spl-payload-offset

To support both raw NAND and SPI NAND boot flows, the loader is
registered for BOOT_DEVICE_NAND and BOOT_DEVICE_SPI. This allows it
to operate correctly on platforms where the ROM reports either NAND
or SPI as the boot source while using the same MTD-based loading
infrastructure.

The required NAND core and SPI NAND drivers are built for SPL when
CONFIG_SPL_MTD_LOAD is enabled.

This provides reusable infrastructure for boards that boot from MTD
devices without relying on SPI-specific or NAND-specific SPL loaders.

Thanks for putting this together. For platforms that have the space this
is definitely the way to go.

Dinesh,

Could you please test this approach on your boards?

Thanks

I think this should be uclass_get_device_by_seq(UCLASS_MTD,
CONFIG_SYS_MTD_SEQ) or use the above method if e.g.
CONFIG_SYS_MTD_U_BOOT_OFFS is -1.
