rk3288: Add early SRAM mapping
Solving the DACR bug will mean that XN bits suddenly become enforced on
non-LPAE systems, and we will no longer be able to execute out of a
region mapped DCACHE_OFF. When we enable the MMU in romstage we are
still executing out of SRAM, so we would instantly kill ourselves.
Solve this issue by enabling the MMU earlier (in the bootblock) and
mapping the SRAM regions as DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH. They should really be
DCACHE_WRITEBACK, but it looks like there might be hardware limitations
in the Cortex-A12 cache architecture that prevent us from doing so.
Write-through mappings are equivalent to normal non-cacheable on the A12
anyway, and by using this attribute we don't need to introduce a new
DCACHE_OFF_BUT_WITHOUT_XN_BIT type in our API. (Also, using normal
non-cacheable might still have a slight speed advantage over strongly
ordered since it should fetch whole cache lines at once if the processor
finds enough accesses it can combine.)
