Currently it's impossible to load Barebox on the i.MX8M via the imx-
usb-loader. The basic issue is that the DRAM setup happens in the PBL,
so there is no way to play the DCD and load a complete Barebox image
into DRAM like we do on the older SoCs.

For boards that do the DRAM setup in the PBL we would need to implement
a 2 step loading approach in imx-usb-loader:
First load the PBL part (max_load_size in the flash-header) into SRAM,
execute the DRAM setup, then have a implementation of the imx serial
load USB protocol in the PBL, so imx-usb-loader can load the complete
image into DRAM.

There's quite a bit of implementation work to be done here, but it
would be a very welcome addition to Barebox.

Regards,
Lucas
