IMX8M and Optee support

We have a 2GB IMX8MP system using 32MB OPTEEE_SIZE, so expect to find Optee blob at 0xBE000000.

ATF compiled with:
make PLAT=imx8mp BL32_BASE=0xBE000000 IMX_BOOT_UART_BASE=0x30890000 SPD=opteed DEBUG=1 -j

Optee compiled with:

CFG_DDR_SIZE ?= UL(0x80000000)
CFG_UART_BASE ?= UART2_BASE
CFG_TZDRAM_START ?= 0xBE000000
undefine CFG_NS_ENTRY_ADDR

Barebox compiled with:
CONFIG_HAVE_OPTEE=y CONFIG_OPTEE_SIZE=0x02000000 # CONFIG_BOOTM_OPTEE is not set CONFIG_PBL_OPTEE=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IMX8MP_OPTEE=y 

This produces the following on boot:

I´m not sure why it asks for the same image twice and if this implies anything …
