The scratch area is just some unused space between top of stack and end of early memory / start of OP-TEE. There's nothing i.MX specific about it, except that we use it to store the bootrom log. The initcall reserving the scratch area was added to avoid barebox proper overwriting it later on during boot. Since commit 59289e3d8cc3 ("memory: add support for requesting barebox area as a whole"), the scratch area is reserved as part of the barebox memory region, so it's unnecessary to keep around SoC-specific code for its reservation, so let's just drop it.
