Some blkmap memory mapped devices might have to be relevant even
after U-Boot passes control to the next image as part of the platform
boot. An example of such a mapping would be an OS installer ISO image,
information for which has to be provided to the OS kernel. Use the
'preserve' attribute for such mappings. The code for adding a pmem
node to the device-tree then checks if this attribute is set, and adds
a node only for mappings which have this attribute.

As part of bringing the master branch back in to next, we need to allow
for all of these changes to exist here.

When bringing in the series 'arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay
Ethernet"' I failed to notice that b4 noticed it was based on next and
so took that as the base commit and merged that part of next to master.
This reverts commit c8ffd1356d, reversing
changes made to 2ee6f3a5f7.

Add a frontend for the blkmap subsystem. In addition to the common
block device operations, this allows users to create and destroy
devices, and map in memory and slices of other block devices.
With that we support two primary use-cases:
- Being able to "distro boot" from a RAM disk. I.e., from an image
where the kernel is stored in /boot of some filesystem supported
by U-Boot.
- Accessing filesystems not located on exact partition boundaries,
e.g. when a filesystem image is wrapped in an FIT image and stored
in a disk partition.
