rockchip: spl: support a 'same-as-spl'-specifier in the spl-boot-order
It is often desirable to configure the spl-boot-order (i.e. the order
that SPL probes devices to find the FIT image containing a full U-Boot)
such that it contains 'the same device the SPL stage was booted from'
early on. To support this, we introduce the 'same-as-spl' specifier
for the spl-boot-order property.
This commit adds:
- documentation for the new board_spl_was_booted_from() function that
individual SoCs/boards should provide, if they can determine where
the SPL was booted from
- implements the new board_spl_was_booted_from() stub function
- adds support for handling the 'same-as-spl' specifier and calling
into the per-SoC/per-board support code.
This also updates the documentation for the 'u-boot,spl-boot-order'
property.

in the order they are listed: references (i.e. implicit paths), a full
path or an alias is expected for each entry.
+A special specifier "same-as-spl" can be used at any position in the
+boot-order to direct U-Boot to insert the device the SPL was booted
+from there. Whether this is indeed inserted or silently ignored (if
+it is not supported on any given SoC/board or if the boot-device is
+not available to continue booting from) is implementation-defined.
+Note that if "same-as-spl" expands to an actual node for a given
