[PATCH master v2 0/5] ARM64: unify pbl and proper malloc area start

The current location used to place the very early PBL malloc area on
Rockchip overlaps the OP-TEE region. This series changes ARM64 to
make the start of the barebox proper malloc area easier to calculate and
uses that also for the PBL memory region.

v1: https://lore.barebox.org/barebox/20260522105852.2681680-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de/

v1 -> v2:
  - restrict to ARM64 only
  - make the offset from start of RAM instead of end (Sascha)

Ahmad Fatoum (5):
  arch: introduce new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MALLOC_SIZE
  arch: introduce CONFIG_BAREBOX_MEMORY_OFFSET
  ARM64: switch to CONFIG_BAREBOX_MEMORY_OFFSET
  ARM64: configs: drop CONFIG_MALLOC_SIZE=0x0 as it's now the default
  ARM64: place PBL malloc area at start of barebox proper malloc area
