> The early PBL malloc area used by the Rockchip code overlaps the region
> used for OP-TEE. Moving it a bit lower would overlap the region occupied
> by the scratch area.
>
> With the switch to CONFIG_BAREBOX_MEMORY_OFFSET, we can compute the start
> of the malloc area in barebox proper without knowing how big barebox will
> eventually be, so make use of that and always place the PBL malloc area
> exactly at the start of the eventual barebox proper memory area.
>
> The memory will automatically be reclaimed when the TLSF allocator is
> instantiated and we will be sure not to overwrite anything by allocating
> in PBL.
