I think I have addressed all the comments you and others had on the
previous series and adapted it to the new SPL framework.

There are just two comments for this series so far. I have to omit the
'SYS' from CONFIG_SYS_SPL_TEXT_BASE and a minor comment by Simon.

If I fix these two, is it ready to go. Do you have any other comments.
If not, shall I re-spin the next revision?

br,
Aneesh
