Can we put this into a imx8m_get_bootrom_log() in romapi.c?

That way we have all code handling the places where the bootrom log is
stored together in one file and do not need to export a __ prefixed
function.

__imx8m_get_bootrom_log() may return NULL. You should check for that
before passing it into memcpy.
