I review why I increase SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN and recall that it will
report memory size problem in spl_get_fit_load_buffer() of spl_fit.c.
But Increase CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE is helpful for boards with
CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE definition,
On Ae350 it is not define SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE, so I increase
SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN instead.

Rick
