[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 4/8] boot/uboot/imx8: Add new target needed for mainline u-boot

Mainline u-boot support for the iMX8M based boards is no longer
using the external imx-mkimage command and instead building
the fit image directly inside U-Boot.

This fit image usually embeds ddr/hdmi firmware for iMX8M target.
