[U-Boot] Struct SoC access

Its just an idea anyway...

Certainly the 1st way I proposed is the easiest to go:
#define BLOCK_BASE_ADDR 0xsomething
block_t *block = (block_t *)BLOCK_BASE_ADDR;

In that case I am quite sure the current AT91 way of defining the hardware
addresses to the drivers already qualifies for that ;)
(Try to follow the definition of SPI0_BASE...)

isn't that obfuscated enough?
