Actually to i.MX7ULP, M4 is booted first from hardware design and it
controls every things, A7 is under control of M4
To i.MX8/8X, M4 is booted by system control unit firmware for quick boot
for automotive CAN and Linux is booted later. Linux could only IPC to M4,
and nothing else.
To i.MX8M, M4 is booted by bootloader, but it could also be booted by Linux,
It is just NXP only support bootloader case.

Appreciate.
