imx: mx7: spl: fix CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE definition
The CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE definition did not account for all areas that are used by the boot ROM according to the manual, causing boot failures due to truncated SPL images when actually hitting this limit. Signed-off-by: Matthias Schiffer <matthias.schiffer@ew.tq-group.com>
