In board/freescale/common/imx/imx8-bootloader-prepare.sh, when
invoking mkimage_fit_atf.sh, the U-Boot DTB is passed as parameter, to
be included in the FIT image. This parameter usually comes from
BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS config option. The variable
BL33=u-boot.bin set in the invocation uses the u-boot image which is
including its embedded DTB. This means the U-Boot DTB is included
twice.
The upstream script mkimage_fit_atf.sh plus its Buildroot patch are
meant to use by default the nodtb variant and use the DTB in a
separate image. See [1] and [2].
The U-Boot default DTB which will be included in u-boot.bin image is
selected with U-Boot CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE, or DEVICE_TREE
variable when invoking "make". If one of those option is not aligned
to the BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS config option, it's possible the
two included U-Boot DTBs are different. If such case happens, the
built-in DTB is always used, regardless of the other one, selected
with BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS.
For example, this case happens for TechNexion Pico Pi i.MX8M and
i.MX8MMini. Since the U-Boot defconfig assumes the nodtb version will
be used, it does not set the default DTB. The u-boot.bin will include
the fsl-imx8mm-evk instead. Including the wrong board DTB breaks the
USB and UMS commands (and possibly others). Since those boards does
not have SD card slots, a recovery serial download is needed at every
update.
This patch make sure that only the separate U-Boot DTB will be
included in the FIT image by using the nodtb variant.

For the boot image creation for the i.MX8MM, the main differences with
i.MX8M are that there is no HDMI firmware image passed, and the ATF
load address is different.

The update of imx-mkimage in commit
c14d92d439
broke the imx8-bootloader-prepare.sh script for i.MX8M, used in
freescale_imx8mqevk_defconfig
The updated mkimage_fit_atf.sh script in imx-mkimage now needs
a ATF_LOAD_ADDR variable, which was set to 0x00910000 for i.MX8M.

Allow user to override the hardcoded dtb name by using
BR2_ROOTFS_POST_SCRIPT_ARGS.
The only user of this script, configs/freescale_imx8mqevk, is updated
accordingly.

This commit adds an imx8-bootloader-prepare.sh script that will be
used by i.MX8 platforms to prepare their bootloader image.
