[PATCH v3 0/4] Enable bloblist support on Vexpress64

[PATCH v3 0/4] Enable bloblist support on Vexpress64

[Harrison Mutai]

This series of patches enhances the vexpress64 platform by enabling bloblist
support. It also introduces support for CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE. This is
necessary to boot vexpress64 and other boards without manually specifying a
fixed address and size for the bloblist.

After this change, all the bloblist init modes are supported (i.e., fixed,
alloc, passage) and Vexpress64 boots with CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE.

Changes in v2:

* The commit body for the typo fix was expanded.
* The default BLOBLIST_RELOC_SIZE was removed when CONFIG_BLOBLIST_PASSAGE is
  enabled, the relocation size depends on the size of bloblist received.

Changes in v3:

* Add constraint on call to xferlist_from_boot_args to avoid calling it when
  BLOBLIST_ALLOC is enabled.
* Minor clean-up in bloblist_init and bloblist_reloc.
* Fix typo in BLOBLIST_FIXED description.

Applied to u-boot/next, thanks!
