[PATCH master] ARM: stm32mp: much enlarge very early stack size

The barebox stack is always located at a fixed offset from the end of
SDRAM. To determine end of SDRAM, barebox may need a stack setup, so
at that early time, either stack pointer set up by BootROM is reused
or we set up a temporary stack on some on-chip SRAM .
On STM32MP1, TF-A runs after BootROM, so barebox runs in normal world
without prepared stack and TF-A is located on on-chip SRAM.
So what we did so far was have a small stack of 64 bytes starting behind
end of barebox image to cover the first function call to determine
actual memory size. This may have been chosen that small with the thought
that an overflow would give an error message anyway, because of failed
decompression. An overflow of exactly 4 bytes overwrites just the barebox
proper image size though located at the end of the barebox image, thereby
overflowing the size and leading to out-of-bounds access during decompression
in 1 of 4 cases depending on barebox size, because we align barebox
proper size to 16 bytes...
Let's just use a fully sized stack even in the early state. That's
usually 32K and we expect a barebox loaded into DRAM to always have
that much bytes following it. Another way would've been to use
some of the other SRAMs, but I decided to leave those alone, as not
to clobber data used by the coprocessor, when reloading barebox.
